Please summarize Sinclair's argument in this paragraph for why longer lifespans will not lead to overpopulation. | A review for Boston Magazine called Sinclair “one of science’s most controversial figures” and said many in the scientific community were skeptical of claims he made about human longevity. University of Alabama biology professor Steven N. Austad said, “David is a good friend, but I do think he’s been guilty of making excessive claims.” Writing in Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Charles Brenner summarized that Lifespan has "become an influential source of misinformation on longevity, featuring counterfactual claims about longevity genes being conserved between yeast and humans, the existence of supposed activators of these genes, and claimed successful age reversal in mice based on partial reprogramming." In a 2019 interview, Sinclair dismissed the idea that longer lifespans could lead to overpopulation. "Population growth will level off within the next couple of decades, and healthier people are having fewer children," Sinclair said. "The global population is already stabilizing, and in many advanced countries going down, so people’s fear that the world will be overpopulated with frail old people is completely wrong." | Based on this paragraph, Sinclair is not concerned with the risk of overpopulation even if lifespans become longer. His rationale is the healthier people are having fewer children and so the population is going down in many advanced countries. |

How long does it take to recover from a sinus infection? | Generally sinusitis starts off as a common viral infection like common cold. This infection generally subsides within 5 to 7 days. During this time the nasal structures can swell and facilitate the stagnation of fluids in sinuses that leads to acute sinusitis which lasts from 6th day of the infection to 15th day. From the 15th day to 45th day of the infection comes the subacute stage followed by chronic stage. Whenever a chronic stage patient's immunity takes a hit the infection moves to "acute on sinusitis" stage and moves back to chronic when the immunity is up. | Given this paragraph about Sinusitis, it takes 5-7 days to feel much better. |
List different ways in which Nuclear power can be obtained based on the passage. | Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions to produce electricity. Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion reactions. Presently, the vast majority of electricity from nuclear power is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear power plants. Nuclear decay processes are used in niche applications such as radioisotope thermoelectric generators in some space probes such as Voyager 2. Generating electricity from fusion power remains the focus of international research.
Most nuclear power plants use thermal reactors with enriched uranium in a once-through fuel cycle. Fuel is removed when the percentage of neutron absorbing atoms becomes so large that a chain reaction can no longer be sustained, typically three years. It is then cooled for several years in on-site spent fuel pools before being transferred to long term storage. The spent fuel, though low in volume, is high-level radioactive waste. While its radioactivity decreases exponentially it must be isolated from the biosphere for hundreds of thousands of years, though newer technologies (like fast reactors) have the potential to reduce this significantly. Because the spent fuel is still mostly fissionable material, some countries (e.g. France and Russia) reprocess their spent fuel by extracting fissile and fertile elements for fabrication in new fuel, although this process is more expensive than producing new fuel from mined uranium. All reactors breed some plutonium-239, which is found in the spent fuel, and because Pu-239 is the preferred material for nuclear weapons, reprocessing is seen as a weapon proliferation risk. | Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion reactions. |

What is the movie True Spirit about? | In 2009, 16-year-old Jessica Watson dreams of becoming the youngest person to circumnavigate the globe non-stop and unassisted, which means she must sail alone and not dock at any port along the way. The journey is estimated to take 200 days, and she must cross the equator and all Meridians of longitude. Her team consist of her parents, three siblings, and her coach Ben Bryant: a disgraced, former competitive sailor. When on her boat, Ella's Pink Lady, Jessica communicates with the team via satellite phone.
On a test run, Jessica's boat is hit by a freighter that strayed off course. She didn't notice the oncoming ship because she forgot to turn on her alert system before going to bed. The accident raises skepticism among the media as to whether Jessica can safely achieve her goal. Her parents are also worried, but continue to support her ambitions.
Jessica sets off on her journey from Sydney, and things go smoothly until she encounters her first big storm. Deciding to ride it out, Jessica lowers her sail and retreats to her cabin. The waves are so violent that she is knocked unconscious and doesn't awake until the next morning. Her parents fear she is concussed, but Jessica assures them she's fine and continues her trip.
A period of no wind occurs and Jessica's boat remains stationary for a week. During this time, she suffers from depression and loneliness. She has a heated argument with Ben and cruelly reminds him that, while competing in the New Zealand Millennium Cup, one of his crew members died under his command. He angrily quits the project in response. Jessica's mother encourages her frustrated daughter to lift her spirits by singing David Bowie's "Starman" while looking at the brightest star in the sky.
The wind returns and Jessica continues her journey. She eventually nears Australia and is about one thousand miles from Sydney. Before she can reach home, she encounters three storms that merge. Ben returns and advises her to alter the route, effectively abandoning her official circumnavigation. Jessica refuses to give up and choses to ride it out. The storm proves to be far more violent than the last one. The Pink Lady capsizes and is thrust 15 feet (4.5 meters) underwater. This sets off the boat's emergency locator beacon, and the team fears Jessica may have drowned.
The Pink Lady, however, resurfaces and rights herself. Jessica informs her family that she and the boat are safe. She returns to Sydney Harbor, 210 days after she left. Her team and a crowd spectators are there to welcome her home.
The epilogue reveals that Jessica was named the 2011 Young Australian of the Year, has written two books despite having dyslexia, and is still an avid sailor. | True Spirit, released by Netflix in February 2023, follows the journey of Jessica Watson and her journey to become the youngest sailor to circumnavigate the globe non-stop and unassisted. She receives strong pushback from the Australian government and the media, who urge her to cancel her voyage after a collision with a freighter on the first night of a test run. While her parents are worried, they ultimately continue to support her, and Jessica departs on her boat, Ella's Pink Lady in October of 2009. The movie follows her 210 day journey covering both heavy storms and a period of no wind. |

Ireland entertain the unbeaten Poles at the Aviva Stadium desperate to bounce back from November's 1-0 defeat in Scotland, their first reverse of the campaign to date. With world champions Germany still favourites to finish top of the pile despite a less than auspicious start, the race for the second automatic qualification spot is well and truly on. Veteran keeper Shay Given hopes the Republic of Ireland can surprise leaders Poland on Sunday . Republic of Ireland goalkeepers David Forde and Shay Given during the training session at Gannon Park . Given said: 'It is huge. It's a big week building up to it now as well. It's one of the biggest games we will play in the whole qualifying campaign. 'Of course, Poland are a great team, but we are at home and we have got to use that advantage and try to get the win. 'It's not must-win yet, but it's must-not-lose, I suppose. We have all been here before in this situation the the qualifying campaign. We know how important it is. Republic of Ireland's Darren Randolf, David Forde, Cyrus Christie and Richard Keogh during training . 'It is a huge game, of course, and ideally you want to win your home games and take some points on the road as well.' After victories over Georgia and Gibraltar, the Republic returned from Germany with a creditable 1-1 draw, only to succumb to Shaun Maloney's strike at Celtic Park in their final qualifier of 2014.

Everton duo James McCarthy and Darron Gibson and Burnley defender Stephen Ward were among those who sat out training but O'Neill was not unduly concerned. Republic of Ireland's Stephen Quinn and James McClean on the ball during training at Gannon Park . He said: 'It's not surprising really for James as Everton have played four games in the last 10 or 11 days, Seamus Coleman too. Darron Gibson has a bit of a groin problem - he played yesterday. 'Stephen has just had a little bit of difficulty. He's had an injury which he is coming back from and he's getting looked at this evening, with the club's permission, and we might have to do something about that.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | It is amazing what you can achieve in sport ‘in extremis’ and although England didn’t land the Championship which they craved, they will have learned a great deal about what can be achieved when you really want it — and need it. England were fantastic on Saturday and if they can draw from the experience, this can be a fantastic year for English rugby — and indeed British and Irish rugby, because Wales and champions Ireland were quite exceptional as well on the final day of the tournament. England cut loose in thrilling fashion and they will never be quite the same players again. They know now for certain that there is another level they can perform to and the Twickenham crowd know that as well. England can hold their heads high and go forward with real confidence after near miss . The shackles really came off and it was really great to watch. Wales and Ireland also found a new level — 211 points in total were scored in the three games —to set what looked like a nigh on impossible target. Very few pundits would have predicted that England would kick off needing to beat France by 26 points, which was a huge ask but a very useful exercise in concentrating the mind on a very specific task when you feel free to empty the tanks and leave nothing on the pitch. Ben Youngs jumps for joy after scoring the first try of the match on Saturday evening . Although England started with the encouragement of an early try, they started chasing the big score a little bit too early and got too loose. You want the game too open up a little to create space but you still have to remember defensive discipline and in the first 20 minutes England missed nine tackles, which is always going to spell trouble against any French side. France nipped in for those two tries from Noa Nakitaci — even if he was taking the concept of going in under the posts a little far for the second! And that rocked England back a little but they stayed positive and did really well, firstly to get back in the game and then to chase for the title. George Ford slides on to his right side as he scores England's fourth try of the afternoon . 1 There is a chance England’s World Cup pool will be decided by points difference. Games between England, Australia and Wales are likely to be close which places an onus on big wins over Fiji and Uruguay. 2 The England pack aren’t quite as dominant as we thought. They need to go up a gear and the return of Joe Launchbury and Alex Corbisiero should help. With the England forwards controlling affairs up front — as they did in the last autumn against the Aussies — I would be confident of England beating Australia. 3 England have found their World Cup fly-half in George Ford and pretty much have the back division in place except for the debate over the 12 slot. A fit-again Manu Tuilagi would come into the equation as will Owen Farrell. 4 England’s backrow still lacks pace and can look unbalanced. Lesser teams can be overpowered but is hugely important against the very best. The only readymade solution is bringing Steffon Armitage in but unless the RFU invoke their curious ‘special circumstances’ clause that isn’t going to happen. 5 Look out for Wales. They have taken the long view this year and are determined to peak in Autumn which is possibly why the intensity wasn’t there against England in February. They are beginning to get the bit between their teeth. They all stuck with the task superbly well. Ben Youngs was the catalyst for everything good and had a quite stunning game — it was brilliant to watch. His second try summed it up perfectly. If you look at the replay today you will see that it was Youngs who took the quick, surprise line-out throw, right back on his line and it was the Leicester scrum half who finished off England’s sustained attack 110 yards upfield under the French posts. It was inspired play, the stuff of champions and exactly the kind of bold, positive play that will be needed for 80 minutes to win a World Cup. The crowd got right in behind it all with their support and there was an energy at Twickenham I haven’t felt for a while. This must be the norm in terms of intensity and atmosphere at every England game from now on. Ultimately, it wasn’t quite enough, not least because this was the day — and the ‘loose’ occasion — on which France seemed to rediscover their attacking mojo. Some of their handling and attacking play was out of the top drawer. James Haskell’s yellow card in the second half didn’t help and towards the end there when England were pressing hard again two line-outs went AWOL. Small margins but important. These are the things that England must still work on but they can hold their heads high and go forward with real confidence.

Players know now that there is another level they can perform to . Coach Stuart Lancaster can move forward with real confidence . |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Kevin Pietersen remains as far away as ever from a return to England colours after it emerged on Friday that Surrey are no nearer an agreement to re-sign the maverick star. Sportsmail can reveal that Pietersen has told Surrey, who released him at the end of last summer, that he will not play all county cricket for them next season — even though he was urged to do so when offered a lifeline by new ECB chairman Colin Graves. He appeared to call Pietersen’s bluff by saying the 34-year-old would be considered for an England recall if he threw his lot in with a county and stated his case by scoring heavily in domestic cricket. Kevin Pietersen played for Surrey in last year's Natwest Twenty20 Blast . Yet it seems unlikely the county will be Surrey, who have not been able to reach agreement with Pietersen over a deal to play in red-ball cricket as well as the white-ball game. The fact Pietersen struggled to attract a contract in this year’s Indian Premier League, before Sunrisers Hyderabad signed him in a cut-price deal, seemed to suggest the path may be clear for a return to domestic cricket. But unless Pietersen is prepared to move away from London — something he previously stated he would not do — it seems that his options are diminishing. Leicestershire may take on Pietersen but it remains to be seen if he will deign to play in the second division. A return for Pietersen in England colours (above) is now looking more and more unlikely . Somerset, coached by Pietersen’s friend Matt Maynard, remain an option but the odds are against him being given a platform to stake a claim for England. Graves, who does not succeed Giles Clarke as chairman until May 15, appeared to go against the wishes of senior figures in the England set-up when he seemed to endorse a Pietersen recall.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Hong Kong (CNN)The search is on for China's teen top guns. China said Monday it has selected 16 high schools to offer pilot training as the country's armed forces seek to attract better qualified recruits. The schools, in 11 provinces across the country, will recruit 1,000 male junior high school students aged between 14 to 16, the China Daily reported. Successful applicants will receive flight training and "military standard" physical training in addition to their regular high-school studies. It's the latest attempt by the People's Liberation Army's air force to attract more talent. Last year, it said it would require wannabe pilots to take psychological assessments and a flight simulation test. China's military has traditionally been focused on winning land battles and is now making efforts to improve its air and naval power in the pursuit of what President Xi Jinping has called "balanced strength." "China has made many strides in the development of advanced aircraft, but it must make sure there can be sufficient, well-trained pilots to fly them," Wang Ya'nan, deputy editor-in-chief of Aerospace Knowledge magazine told The China Daily last month. The recruits will receive a stipend and board at the schools. Traditionally, serving in the military has not been a sought-after career in China and a U.S. report on China's military transformation released last month singled out the quality and professionalism of new recruits as a major challenge. Many are still drawn from rural areas with limited education, while country's one-child policy, which has created the "little emperor" phenomenon of spoiled children, produces recruits who "may not be tough enough to withstand military discipline," the report added. To this end, China has been making efforts to recruit more high school and college graduates as it modernizes its armed forces. On completing the three-year program, students will take a pilot selection test, and those who pass will join a PLA flight academy and those who fail can choose to enter other military universities or civilian institutes. | China wants 1,000 male junior high school students for pilot training .

Generate a summary of the text | QPR defender Mauricio Isla is convinced his Chile international colleague Alexis Sanchez will become the best player in the world after a sensational start to his Arsenal career this season. Sanchez and Isla were this week included in a 20-man Chile squad to play a friendly against Brazil at the Emirates Stadium on March 29, and also against Iran. Sanchez, who has scored 18 goals this season, has helped fire Arsenal to third in the Premier League table, where they sit just a point behind Manchester City. And Isla, who is on a season-long loan deal at Loftus Road from Juventus after impressing for Chile at last summer's World Cup in Brazil, believes Sanchez has all the ingredients – and the temperament – to eclipse even Barcelona striker Lionel Messi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo as the best in the business. Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez can become the best players in the world, according to Mauricio Isla . 'I have known him for ten years and I think Alexis has shown what he is made of,' said Isla. 'He has always said that he wanted to be the best in the world and now he has arrived in a team where this can truly become a reality. 'He can build confidence and where they play for him and he transmits the confidence that his teammates give him but honestly, I am not at all surprised by the quality of Alexis as a player. 'I am proud to play alongside him for Chile, as I am proud to play alongside Arturo Vidal of Juventus and Claudio Bravo of Barcelona among others. I think together we are able to succeed and it would be fantastic for our country. Sanchez was one of Chile's star men at the World Cup and will be a key man at the Copa America . 'Alexis Sanchez is a leader as are the other two. Of course, the team is a group but there are always role models in any team and I think these three in particular are fundamental to ours. 'There are always high quality players and these three are the pillars of our team and the rest of us must accompany them to achieve great things. 'Firstly Alexis Sanchez provides what I believe we lacked before which are his goals. 'It's fantastic that he is scoring so much which fills him with confidence and joy and I hope he continues to keep scoring always more. 'If we were to talk about his characteristics, we could be here all day but for me, I love playing with a player who's so bold, who is a fighter, runs for 90 minutes and always loves training. 'I have heard from many of his Arsenal teammates also that he never tires in training or on the pitch and this is fundamental for the team.' QPR's Mauricio Isla is proud to play for Chile alongside the likes of Sanchez and Arturo Vidal of Juventus . Also included in the squad is Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, former Cardiff midfielder Gary Medel, Fiorentina's David Pizarro, QPR's Eduardo Vargas and Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal. And Isla has issued a warning to Brazil boss Dunga to expect a serious test against fellow South Americans Chile at the Emirates Stadium. The friendly in North London will take on extra significance as Brazil secured a dramatic penalty shootout win against Chile to reach the last eight at the World Cup last summer and set up an all-South American quarter-final against Colombia. 'It's a game that give brings up some pain, for everything that happened in the World Cup which was a beautiful game, I think as much for Brazil as it was for Chile,' added Isla. 'The game played on for 120 minutes before going to penalties and sadly Brazil won but they really had to work for it. 'To play this game as a revenge match in a beautiful country, and beautiful city such as London, all Chileans will take interest and I hope it goes well.'

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Kevin Pietersen is confident he can score more Test hundreds for England, if he is given the opportunity. The controversial, record-breaking batsman trails only captain Alastair Cook in the all-time list of England's most prolific Test centurions - having made 23, before he was sacked 13 months ago. The 34-year-old is hoping to resurrect his career with his adopted country after new England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves hinted that a return to county cricket - and first-class form - may put him back in the reckoning after all. Kevin Pietersen believes he is capable of adding to his 23 Test centuries if he receives an England recall . England captain Alastair Cook (right) has scored two more centuries than Pietersen (centre) Alastair Cook - 25 . Kevin Pietersen - 23 . Wally Hammond - 22 . MC Cowdrey - 22 . Geoffrey Boycott - 22 . Pietersen is therefore pursuing the possibility of securing a new contract in this country. Surrey, who de-registered him six months ago after a summer in which he played only Twenty20 cricket, appear to be strong favourites to re-sign him - as long as he can secure a release from his arrangement to play in the Indian Premier League, which clashes with the start of the English domestic season. Pietersen was axed after England's 2013-14 Ashes whitewash defeat, and ECB managing director Paul Downton subsequently described his 'disengagement' with his team-mates. He struggled for form, and fitness, in the summer that followed but rediscovered both for Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash this winter. On his return to Australia, to commentate on the knockout stages of the World Cup, he made it clear in an interview on Fox Sports on Tuesday that he believes he can excel again for England. 'I don't think my best days are behind me. 'I thought I batted as well as I've ever batted in my career in Australia a few months ago. 'I think that's nonsense - I reckon I've still got quite a few Test hundreds in me.' Former England cricketer Pietersen has rubbished claims suggesting his best days are behind him . England appeared to have severed all ties with the South Africa-born batsman, until Graves recently indicated otherwise. Pietersen's autobiography, in which he depicted a culture of bullying in the England dressing-room and was highly critical of former team-mates and management staff, seemed to merely confirm a permanent split. Former England batting coach Graham Gooch, for one, is still warning against his return. 'I wouldn't bring Pietersen back,' he told the Evening Standard. 'I would question whether he would have made that much of a difference in the World Cup. 'His record for England over his career has been box office. But his performances in ODI cricket before this tournament weren't special. Former England batting coach Graham Gooch insists Pietersen does not deserve an international recall . 'Kevin Pietersen did some great things for England, make no mistake. But now it's time to move on.' Gooch, on staff during England's Ashes defeat down under, takes particular issue with some of the content of Pietersen's autobiography - published last October. 'I vehemently disagree with all the things Kevin Pietersen said. 'That's not the dressing-room I remember. 'In November 2013, he was given a memento by the players for his 100th Test in the dressing-room before the first Test at Brisbane. 'Then he stated 'This is the best England environment I have ever played in'. 'Those words came out of his mouth.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | The first Thursday of the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship is something of a national holiday for American sports fans, when office productivity plummets. Also known as March Madness or the Big Dance, the second round of the tournament - which started today - features a hoops extravaganza: 16 games both today and tomorrow, from noon to midnight. The single-elimination bracket-style tournament means every game is a must-win for all 68 schools, producing tense, dramatic finishes. University of Connecticut won the championship title in 2014 against Kentucky. The reigning champs are already out of the tournament this year, having lost to Arizona State University on Wednesday . Upsets are eagerly anticipated as elites like University of Kentucky fend off underdogs trying to spark an improbable run and become the next tournament darling, like last year's University of Dayton. Fanatics, novices and even President Barack Obama are trying to predict the winners of every game by completing an estimated 70million tournament brackets, according to the American Gaming Association — that's more brackets completed than votes Obama received in the last presidential election. Throughout its 77-year history, the basketball tournament has transcended sports to become a national craze. MADNESS FROM THE START . College basketball has long filled the gap in the American sports calendar when baseball and football are dormant. In 1939, Oregon beat Ohio State in the first tournament, which featured only eight teams. The NCAA field kept growing as TV coverage spurred interest. The potential for a David to slay a Goliath set the stage for what remains the most-watched basketball game ever: the 1979 final pitting little-known Indiana State, led by Larry Bird, against powerhouse Michigan State, led by Magic Johnson. The classic game transformed Bird and Johnson into rival superstars and catapulted college basketball into the American consciousness. In this March 27, 1951, file photo, the Kentucky basketball team celebrates winning the NCAA college basketball championship after defeating Kansas State 68-58 in Minneapolis. In 1939, the national title was decided by an eight-team competition . THE BIG DANCE GETS BIGGER . The fledgling ESPN cable network began broadcasting the tournament's oft-ignored early rounds in 1980. The term 'March Madness' was popularized through the 1980s as unlikely champions such as North Carolina State and Villanova captivated Americans. TV ratings skyrocketed, and so did revenue for the NCAA. In 2013, according to the latest figures available from Kantar Media, TV advertising revenue was a staggering $1.15billion. Every game is now on TV and streaming online. The champion must win six games as the field winnows, from the Sweet 16 to the Elite Eight to the Final Four. The semifinals and championship will be played April 4-6 in a football stadium in Indianapolis. In a March 26, 1979 file photo, Indiana State's Larry Bird (33) gives a helping hand to a fallen Magic Johnson of Michigan State during the final game of the NCAA men's basketball championship in Salt Lake City. In 2015, 68 teams will play in 14 venues across the country, every game will be on TV, and the championship game will be played in an NFL stadium while millions of people watch across the country and around the world. AN AMERICAN OBSESSION: BRACKETS! UPSETS! Fans competing in online bracket pools — often for money, though that's technically illegal — had up until the moment the first game tipped shortly after noon Eastern Thursday. Brackets will be busted by unpredictable upsets, like tiny Mercer's dethroning of Duke last year. One of the most famous upsets was achieved in 2001 by Hampton. Who does Kentucky, this tournament's overwhelming favorite, play in its first game? Hampton. That game just happens to be scheduled for prime-time on Friday night. Kentucky is favored to win by 32 points, according to oddsmakers. But in March, anything is possible.

Generate a summary of the text | By the time referee Wayne Barnes blew the final whistle, large chunks of the world-record crowd had long since drifted away into the north London night. Such was Saracens’ dominance of a Harlequins team who have completely lost their way, even the dubious lure of a Mexican wave had lost its appeal for the ‘away’ fans. Those left inside did muster a roar when Billy Vunipola dotted down for a deserved try with two minutes remaining, but Quins had been so inept for large parts of this game that a five-try victory felt slightly hollow.

Pop singer Pixie Lott performs at half-time in front of the record breaking 84,068 crowd at Wembley Stadium . The 24-year-old performs for the Saracens and Harlequins supporters during the Aviva premiership match . Saracens won’t care a jot. They were tack sharp for much of the game, physical and confrontational when they needed to be with a pack more than willing to mix it and a back line full of invention. It was just a shame the 84,068 crowd, many of them no doubt watching their first game of professional rugby, witnessed such a no-contest. Saracens have won all but one of their last 14 matches against their London rivals and on this evidence it will be a long time before they are troubled again. Quins, eighth in the Aviva Premiership table and with next to no chance of European qualification, really were that bad. Their returning England contingent of Chris Robshaw, Joe Marler and Nick Easter were unable to make any notable impact up front, while behind the scrum they were devoid of ideas. The world record breaking 84,068 attendance for a club rugby match is revealed on the Wembley scoreboard . Harlequins' Danny Care chips the ball forward during his side's 42-14 defeat by Saracens at Wembley . Saracens' Wyles and Harlequins' Ross Chisholm both try to catch the high ball during the premiership match . They missed the cutting edge of their concussed full back Mike Brown and scrum-half Danny Care is badly short of confidence after being dropped by England last autumn. The same cannot be said of Saracens, who consolidated their second spot in the table with a bonus-point win that saw winger Chris Ashton score an excellent brace. USA centre Chris Wyles excelled at 12 alongside the equally impressive Marcelo Bosch. With Owen Farrell, Brad Barritt and Schalk Brits set to return from injury soon, Saracens appear to be coming good at the right time. ‘The second 20 minutes of the first half was as good as we’ve been all season,’ said Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall. ‘We counter attacked really well and looked dangerous on the ball. We went off the boil in the next 20 minutes but put a lot of pressure on towards the end.’ Saracens' Billy Vunipola (right) recovers the ball and dives over the line to score his team's fifth and final try . Wyles (left) scored two tries in Saracens stunning 42-14 victory over Harlequins at Wembley on Saturday .

The only blot on Ashton’s copybook was the yellow card shown for a tip tackle on Matt Hopper with eight minutes to play. No matter. Saracens still scored two tries with the wing off the field. ‘It’s incredibly frustrating,’ said Quins director of rugby Conor O’Shea. ‘We’re just too easy to knock off. It’s been a really difficult couple of months. You can see that by how easily we get knocked off our stride, mentally. When you are used to success it hurts even more.’ It could all have been so different for Quins. On the same Wembley pitch where Harry Kane had taken just 78 seconds to open his international account for England the night before, young Quins flanker Jack Clifford dotted down 28 seconds into this contest after charging down Neil de Kock’s clearance. It proved to be as good as it would get for Quins as Wyles and Ashton scored superbly worked first-half tries. Quins lost prop Kyle Sinckler with a knee injury sustained courtesy of a dubious tackle by flanker Jacques Burger. Ashton’s 52nd-minute try put Saracens out of sight before the two more late tries put deserved gloss on the score. They will travel to face Racing Metro in the last eight of Europe next Sunday full of belief.

Summarize the meaning of "Lovers" in the slogan "Virginia is for lovers" | "Virginia is for Lovers" is the tourism and travel slogan of the U.S. commonwealth of Virginia. Used since 1969, it has become a well-recognized and often imitated part of American jargon. In 2012, Advertising Age called "Virginia is for Lovers" "one of the most iconic ad campaigns in the past 50 years."
History
A team led by David N. Martin and George Woltz of Martin and Woltz Inc. of Richmond, Virginia created the slogan after winning the Virginia State Travel account in 1968. Originally, they had come up with history ads, "Virginia is for History Lovers"; beach ads, "Virginia is for Beach Lovers"; and mountain ads, "Virginia is for Mountain Lovers". This approach was eventually discarded as too limiting, and the qualifiers were dropped. Martin and Woltz Inc. eventually gained prominence and grew to become The Martin Agency. The Martin Agency says that, contrary to some claims, the slogan is not a reference to the United States Supreme Court's 1967 ruling in Loving v. Virginia, which legalized interracial marriage in the United States.
In 1969, the Virginia State Travel Service (now the Virginia Tourism Corporation) adopted the "Virginia is for Lovers" slogan and the first ad campaign using the tagline appeared in March 1969, in an issue of Modern Bride.
In 2009, "Virginia is for Lovers" was inducted into the Madison Avenue Advertising Walk of Fame, a creation of Advertising Week, the largest collection of advertising, marketing and media professionals in North America. These inductees were also included in the Advertising Icon Museum. Also in 2009, "Virginia is for Lovers" was acknowledged as one of the top ten tourism marketing campaigns of all time by Forbes.com. In 2016, the Virginia Tourism Corporation began selling apparel with a rainbow-colored heart in the logo as part of an LGBT tourism promotion campaign. The slogan began appearing on the state's license plates in 2014 and the state's welcome signs in 2015.
In popular culture
The slogan has been mentioned by a variety of artists over the years. In 2005, post-hardcore band Hawthorne Heights alluded to the phrase in the title of their single “Ohio Is for Lovers,” which would become widely regarded as an anthem of the early 2000’s emo music scene. American Idol winner Jordin Sparks recorded a song called "Virginia is for Lovers" in 2007, which was featured as a bonus track on her self-titled debut album. The slogan is mentioned in The Hold Steady song "Killer Parties", and Willie Adler, guitarist for Lamb of God, has the slogan printed on the neck of his custom guitars. The slogan is also mentioned in the Kenny Chesney song "Get Along". Virginia Beach-based rap group Clipse include the slogan in their song "Virginia," from their 2002 album Lord Willin', proclaiming: "Virginia's for lovers, but trust there's hate here / For out-of-towners, who think they're gon' move weight here." | - "Virginia is for Lovers" is a tourism and travel slogan adopted by the Virginia State Travel Service (now the Virginia Tourism Corporation) since 1969
- The "lovers" in the slogan was originally attached to qualifiers such as history lovers, beach lovers, and mountain lovers. The qualifiers were considered too limited and eventually dropped
- Contrary to claims, the word "Lovers" in the slogan bears no reference to the United States Supreme Court's case Loving v. Virginia which legalized interracial marriage in 1967 |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | The first thing you need to know about Jose Mourinho is just how much he loves winning football matches. It is everything to him — whether it is the Barclays Premier League, the Champions League or a charity match. Last summer, Jose was in charge of the Rest of the World for Soccer Aid, I was playing for Sam Allardyce’s England side and Mourinho’s team were leading at Old Trafford going into the final moments. To ensure the advantage was preserved, however, Mourinho — with a glint in his eye — had a word with James McAvoy, the Hollywood actor, who he was putting on as substitute. Not long after, James had gone to ground with an ‘injury’ to help run the clock down. The job was done and they won 4-2! Nemanja Matic (left) John Terry and Gary Cahill joke during training at the end of a hard week for Chelsea . Mourinho spikily replied to comments made by Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness . Cesc Fabregas controls the ball as the Premier League leaders look forward to Sunday's Southampton game . I must stress that it was all good-natured, but on Wednesday night against Paris Saint-Germain, the actions of a Mourinho team were significantly darker. I called Chelsea’s behaviour disgraceful and sad as they pursued a Champions League quarter-final place. They went beyond what is acceptable but, unfortunately, it is not the first time we have seen them do it. I doubt it will be the last, either. Mourinho and his teams take winning to a level that other teams and managers do not. Mourinho shakes hands with fans before the start of last summer's Soccer Aid match at Old Trafford . Jamie Carragher (centre) played for Sam Allardyce's England side for the charity game in June last year . As the seconds dwindled, James McEvoy (left) went down with an injury as the the Rest of the World won 4-2 . Respect for Mourinho’s achievements in the game is beyond doubt. In a few years from now, we could be acknowledging him as the most successful manager of all time, particularly if he keeps picking up a trophy every 35 matches, as is his current remarkable ratio. But will he be loved? Chelsea fans undoubtedly adore him. Porto and Inter supporters will too. Yet beyond that? It is debatable. Will he care how he is remembered? I think he will. Deep down, I think everyone in football cares how they are perceived. Chelsea players surround Bjorn Kuipers as the Dutch referee gives Zlatan Ibrahimovic his marching orders . It was this tackle by the Swede on Oscar that had the Chelsea players swarming round the ref . Ibrahimovic's night was over after the tackle in the first half . Every outfield Chelsea player except Oscar was involved in the mass protest . Are trophies more important than creating good memories? I would always argue ‘yes’ to that. During my career, I won 10 major honours but none of the Liverpool teams I played for is particularly remembered for being a top side. If I’m honest, it annoys me, especially when I hear stories even now of how great Kevin Keegan’s Newcastle team of 1995-96 were or how thrilling the Leeds team were that reached the Champions League semi-final in 2000. Yes, they both played fast, exciting football but what did they win? Nothing. Mourinho led Porto to the UEFA Cup in 2003 and the Champions League a year after . Mourinho grabs Marco Materazzi after guiding Inter Milan to their third European Cup in 2010 . You want to be successful and have a reputation that spans a lifetime, like the Real Madrid team of the 1950s that Alfredo di Stefano and Ferenc Puskas inspired to five consecutive European Cups or the Ajax team of Rinus Michels and Johan Cruyff from the 1970s. They took that style on to the Dutch national squad. Cruyff once said, ‘how you play is more important than what you win’ and to some extent, he is right. The Holland side from the 1974 World Cup, for instance, get spoken about more than the West German squad that actually won it. Personally, I would have rather been a German than in the Dutch squad that came up short. The same goes for Brazil in 1982, the other great team that captured hearts but failed to conquer the world. Real Madrid's Raymond Kopa, Rial, Alfredo Di Stefano, Ferenc Puskas and Gento pose before a game in 1959 . Johan Cruyff rounds Argentina keeper Daniel Carnevali before scoring in the 1974 World Cup quarter-final . The great Brazilian side of 1982 celebrate Socrates' wonderful equaliser in the 3-2 defeat by winners Italy . I know most of the names of that great squad, as I am sure many do — Zico, Eder, Falcao, Socrates — but what would those men rather have, a winner’s medal — like their compatriots in 1970 — or just the knowledge that everyone loved the football they played? In an ideal world, you get remembered for winning with style. The best example I have of that from my childhood was the AC Milan team of Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard and Marco van Basten that was guided by Arrigo Sacchi in the late 1980s. Their quality in that period was beyond compare and they remain the last side to retain the European Cup. Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona, however, are the team that took style and success to another level all together. They will still be writing books about them in 50 years, such was the swagger with which they won 14 trophies in four extraordinary years. When a team wins silverware with imagination and fantasy, it almost seems more special. Mourinho is just as prolific at collecting trophies as Guardiola but the brand of football his team play does not compare. That is why, in the long-term, you won’t find his teams spoken about like some of the others I have mentioned. The behaviour of the teams, of course, doesn’t help either. Chelsea have been likened to the Leeds team from the 1970s but I actually think the way they conducted themselves was worse during Mourinho’s first spell in England. They were prepared to push it further still. Pep Guardiola is thrown by his adoring Barcelona players after winning the 2011 Champions League . Leeds players surround Ray Tinkler after the referee controversially allowed Jeff Astle's goal in 1971 . John Terry, John Mikel Obi, Ashley Cole and Michael Essien get in referee Rob Styles' face in 2007 . None of that might bother Mourinho, in the same way it didn’t bother Rafa Benitez. I remember him once telling me about a conversation he had with a Spanish journalist, about what was perceived as ‘great football’ and ‘winning football’. Rafa was puzzled by this, so he asked the journalist: ‘Who scored Spain’s winning goal in the 1964 European Championship?’ The reply came: ‘Marcelino’. So Rafa then asked, ‘And how did Spain play in the game?’ to which there was silence. Oscar appeared to be no worse off after Ibrahimovic's midweek tackle as he trained on Friday . Diego Costa sat down for a bit of keepy-uppy at Cobham as the players prepared for Southampton . Mourinho keeps a close eye on things as the Blues boss gets his side ready for Sunday's lunchtime kick-off . His point was all that mattered was Spain had won the trophy. Mourinho would clearly understand the logic in that argument. I can see what he means, too. But the idea of winning at all costs? That is something with which I am not comfortable. I loved winning, there was nothing better that you could experience in football. But when all is said and done, you want to be remembered and respected for what you achieved. And if Mourinho’s teams keep taking things to the brink, the love his achievements should secure is unlikely to ever come. Hughes revival will put big clubs on alert . There is a big game in the Midlands with West Bromwich Albion coming up against Stoke. Praise for the work of Albion’s Tony Pulis, the former Stoke boss, shows no sign of dwindling, particularly after he was named manager of the month for February. West Brom are thriving under his guidance and there is little doubt they will be in the Barclays Premier League next season. But what about Mark Hughes, the man who succeeded Pulis at Stoke? Tony Pulis won the manager of the month award for February after his fine work at West Brom . Mark Hughes (right) has flown under the radar but has led the Potters to eighth in the Premier League . Without grabbing any headlines, Hughes has impressively manoeuvred Stoke into eighth place in the Premier League and they have built on their efforts of last season. They spent just £1.2million last summer, and lost Bojan Krkic to a serious knee injury, but they continue to get good results. Only Liverpool and Arsenal have picked up more points since Boxing Day. The work Hughes has done at the Britannia Stadium seems to have gone under the radar. His journey since he was sacked in a poor manner by Manchester City in December 2009 hasn’t always been smooth. For instance, he was criticised for the way he left Fulham in 2011 and was then sacked by Queens Park Rangers after spending less than a year at Loftus Road, even though he kept them in the top flight in May 2012. But he has rebuilt his reputation in the Potteries and looks like he will be rewarded with a new contract. If he continues to make such impressive strides, he may get the chance once again to work at a club that can regularly compete for top honours. This week I'm looking forward to... Seeing if Everton can keep flying the flag in Europe . Another disappointing week in Europe for teams from the Barclays Premier League but, once again, Everton proved an exception to the rule. The last hour of their clash with Dynamo Kiev saw Everton playing at their best under Roberto Martinez — the football was good, the energy was high and there was an intensity in everything they did. It all helped to show how difficult Romelu Lukaku can be to play against in that mood. He bulldozed his way past a number of challenges to set up Steven Naismith’s goal, showed character to take the crucial penalty and bullied Dynamo’s defenders, including the highly-rated Aleksandar Dragovic. He now has 16 goals for the season. Romelu Lukaku skips past Aleksandar Dragovic (left) during an all-action display against Dynamo Kiev . Lukaku's penalty was not convincing, but it hands Everton the upper hand in the tie ahead of the return leg . When you see Everton play like that, you wonder why they have struggled in the Premier League. But if they replicate the performance that gave them a 2-1 lead to take to Kiev, they will have an outstanding chance of beating Newcastle for just their second league win of 2015. As soon as Everton start getting points on the board again, the tense atmosphere around Goodison Park will relax and Evertonians will be able to enjoy the European adventure a little bit more. | Winning is everything to Jose Mourinho - whether it is the Barclays Premier League, the Champions League or a charity match . Chelsea went beyond what is acceptable against PSG but, unfortunately, it is not the first time we have seen them do it. I doubt it will be the last, either . In a few years from now, we could be acknowledging Mourinho as the most successful manager of all time . But will he be loved? Chelsea fans undoubtedly adore him. Porto and Inter supporters will too. Yet beyond that? It is debatable . |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Vladimir Putin today demanded an end to 'shameful' political assassinations in the wake of the shooting of a Kremlin critic last week. Boris Nemtsov, a former deputy prime minister, was gunned down as he walked with his Ukrainian girlfriend on Friday night near Red Square. He was the most prominent opposition figure to be killed in Russia during Putin's 15-year rule. The Kremlin has denied any involvement, saying that the killing was a 'provocation' designed to discredit Putin and strengthen his opponents. Scroll down for video . Russian President Vladimir Putin attends an Interior Ministry board meeting in Moscow, where he called for an end to the 'shame' of political killings which have plagued the Kremlic in recent years . Gunned down: Nemtsov (left) and his 23-year-old model girlfriend, Anna Duritskaya (right) were walking through Moscow after having dinner on Friday night when he was shot four times in the back . But Nemtsov's friends say the Kremlin is to blame for fomenting an atmosphere of hatred towards its opponents. In a speech during a meeting with officials from the interior ministry, Putin said: 'The most serious attention should be paid to high-profile crimes, including the ones with a political subtext. 'Russia should be devoid at last of the kind of shame and tragedies that we have recently endured and seen. 'I mean the murder, the audacious murder of Boris Nemtsov right in the centre of the capital.' Law enforcement officials have said one lead they were exploring was that the killing was linked to Nemtsov's personal life or business dealings. Putin's comments indicated that version is now being discarded. Authorities have not made any arrests. Honoured: People applaud as workers carry the coffin of Kremlin critic Boris Nemtsov during a ceremony at the Sakharov centre in Moscow, where his body was laid in state after he was shot dead on Friday . Goodbye: Nemtsov's mother Dina Eidman, his secretary Inna Krolyova and daughter Dina (from left to right) pay their last respects at the mourning ceremony . Earlier on Wednesday, the director of Russia's Federal Security Service said that an investigation had identified several suspects, without giving details. Russian news agencies reported that investigators were seeking a car in connection to the killing that may be connected to the finance ministry. The ministry said in a statement sent to Reuters that the car, a Ford, does not belong to the ministry itself but was owned by a state enterprise which provides security to government institutions, including the finance ministry. The vehicle drove past the spot where Nemtsov was shot after the killing and when police patrol cars had already arrived at the scene, the statement said. Thousands of Russians yesterday paid their final respects to Nemtsov when he was laid to rest in the capital. The politician's mother Dina, 87, and four children laid him to rest, with ex-UK prime minister Sir John Major leading Western mourners attending his funeral. | PM says Russia 'should be devoid of tragedies with a political subtext' Former deputy PM Nemtsov shot near Moscow's Red Square last week .

The unidentified Vancouver sergeant pulled over the man, identified as Bodhi Sattva on YouTube, because he and his colleague 'smelled marijuana'. The motorists refuses to roll down the window and instead asks the officer why he had been stopped. 'Hit the brakes you moron.

What are the seven main islands of Canary Island as per the passage? Display the results in a comma separated format. | The Canary Islands (/kəˈnɛəri/; Spanish: Canarias, pronounced [kaˈnaɾjas]), also known informally as the Canaries, are a Spanish autonomous community and archipelago in Macaronesia in the Atlantic Ocean. At their closest point to the African mainland, they are 100 kilometres (62 miles) west of Morocco. They are the southernmost of the autonomous communities of Spain. The islands have a population of 2.2 million people and are the most populous special territory of the European Union.
The seven main islands are (from largest to smallest in area) Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, and El Hierro. The archipelago includes many smaller islands and islets, including La Graciosa, Alegranza, Isla de Lobos, Montaña Clara, Roque del Oeste, and Roque del Este. It also includes a number of rocks, including Garachico and Anaga. In ancient times, the island chain was often referred to as "the Fortunate Isles". The Canary Islands are the southernmost region of Spain, and the largest and most populous archipelago of Macaronesia. Because of their location, the Canary Islands have historically been considered a link between the four continents of Africa, North America, South America, and Europe.
In 2019, the Canary Islands had a population of 2,153,389, with a density of 287.39 inhabitants per km2, making it the eighth most populous autonomous community of Spain. The population is mostly concentrated in the two capital islands: around 43% on the island of Tenerife and 40% on the island of Gran Canaria.
The Canary Islands, especially Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote, are a major tourist destination, with over 12 million visitors per year. This is due to their beaches, subtropical climate, and important natural attractions, especially Maspalomas in Gran Canaria and Mount Teide (a World Heritage Site) in Tenerife. Mount Teide is the highest peak in Spain and the third tallest volcano in the world, measured from its base on the ocean floor. The islands have warm summers and winters warm enough for the climate to be technically tropical at sea level. The amount of precipitation and the level of maritime moderation vary depending on location and elevation. The archipelago includes green areas as well as desert. The islands' high mountains are ideal for astronomical observation, because they lie above the temperature inversion layer. As a result, the archipelago boasts two professional observatories: the Teide Observatory on Tenerife, and Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma. | Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro |

Generate a summary of the text | Arsene Wenger fears Alexis Sanchez is running out of steam and is searching for the right moment to give the £32million Chile striker a well-earned break. Only Per Mertesacker has played more for Arsenal this season than Sanchez, who has played for 3,326 minutes in his debut campaign, scoring 19 goals but only one in his last 11 appearances.

It's not that he won't let me, I will decide that. It's just that every game now is so important, you always have a hesitation to do it.' Arsenal are at Newcastle in the Barclays Premier League on Saturday, and Wenger will expect a reaction after sliding out of the Champions League on Tuesday.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has expressed his fears about burn-out for the Premier League’s joint leading goalscorer as he prepares to make his England debut against Lithuania. The FA are in talks with Kane and Tottenham officials, including Pochettino, about playing for Gareth Southgate’s England Under 21 team in the Czech Republic. But negotiations have become increasingly tense because of Tottenham’s commitments in Australia after the final game of the season on May 24. Pochettino wants Kane to miss this summer’s tournament to make sure he has enough recovery time before the start of next season, but the striker wants to play in the championship.

We will have that discussion in the next nine months to a year. ‘When we decided in Brazil that we wanted Roy to continue with his contract, we thought, “He’s got a contract, he sees it through”.

England are cruising towards Euro 2016 after winning the first four qualifiers to establish a six-point lead at the head of a group from which the top two go through automatically. Hodgson will be 70 at the time of the World Cup in Russia but has proved a popular manager with FA chiefs and players alike since he replaced Fabio Capello in 2012. The Euro 2016 qualification process has been so tame, however, that a final decision on his contract may even be shelved until after the finals. ‘Without being disrespectful, this group isn’t the toughest,’ said centre half Phil Jagielka. ‘Time will tell in the tournament. There is a bit of pressure on and that is when the judgment will be clearer. We need to have a good tournament in France to back him if Roy is going to stay on, and the boys are desperate to do that.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | London (CNN)Captive Ukrainian pilot Nadiya Savchenko has sent a stark message to Russian President Vladimir Putin as she awaits trial in a Moscow jail. In a letter from prison, written in response to questions from CNN, she said: "If Putin wants to defeat Ukraine -- let's try to defeat me first!" "But if he wants peace and friendship between our nations as he claims," she added, "I am ready to make the first step towards it. "My freedom will be that first step towards peace and understanding in Ukraine." Savchenko has been held by the Russian authorities in pre-trial detention since last June. Her defiant message was written after CNN submitted a series of questions to the Ukrainian fighter pilot through one of her lawyers, Mark Feygin. We do not know under what circumstances Savchenko answered the questions, but Feygin says she wrote the responses on Friday as he was visiting her. Savchenko undertook a hunger strike for 83 days to protest her detention despite pleas from her family and her lawyers. She recently abandoned her fast after nearing death but has since resumed it, only drinking broth and milk occasionally to stay alive. Russia claims the 33-year-old is behind the killings of two Russian journalists hit by mortar fire at a checkpoint in eastern Ukraine, allegations she has always denied. Moscow says she then crossed voluntarily into Russia and sought asylum as a refugee. The Ukrainian government, however, insists she was kidnapped by rebel forces and that she is a prisoner of war. "I have already been in captivity for an hour when those Russian journalists died. I have not seen them, and our ways have never crossed.. The 'rebels' themselves told me that those journalists came under fire of their own 'makhnovtsi' [slang for 'anarchists']," Savchenko told CNN in her letter from jail. "And the investigators knew all about it since the very beginning! And they have nothing on me! They simply thought that it would be easy to "twist my arms" and receive another star for their epaulettes. But it's not going to happen!" she added. Savchenko's case has attracted wide international attention and turned her into a symbol of resistance against Russia in her home country, with Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko awarding her the title "Hero of Ukraine," one of the nation's highest honors. She has also been voted into the Ukrainian parliament despite her captivity. Despite her critical situation, Savchenko appears to have retained her sense of humor just as much as her determination, writing that she was feeling "On the edge!...;) Close to Nirvana and enlightenment!;) Joking." "Holding on! But holding my body entirely on my the power of my will," she continued, "because I am so numb that I couldn't feel the needle when the blood sample was taken from my vein today. "Tottering, head is spinning, [blood] pressure 80x40, [blood] sugar 2.9, T [temperature] -- 35.7°C. But still be standing till 50kg [body weight]! Even longer if God let's me! Hasn't fainted even once and hasn't fallen off my feet." The military pilot told CNN she is being monitored "24 hours a day," which she finds "very annoying." "Protection and security measures are such that King Kong would not have been able to break away!;)," she joked again. "But in general all is very decent and polite! Treatment is reasonable." Savchenko's lawyer recently told CNN's Christiane Amanpour in an interview that President Putin holds Savchenko's fate and that she wanted to await trial out of jail. Several international dignitaries have urged Moscow to release her, including EU Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini and the U.S. State Department, to no avail. But as Savchenko continues her hunger strike, is she willing to ultimately die in detention? "To die?! That's not our methods!!!;) I'll think of something better!...:;)," she said. "I'll be on hunger strike as I said until I am returned back to Ukraine, or at least [until] detention is changed to a house arrest at the Ukrainian Consulate in RF, which is actually a part of Ukraine in Russia. "There is no point starting eating in prison. The bite doesn't go down the throat here in this cage! And the truth must win after all!!!" CNN reached out to Russian authorities for an update on Savchenko's case, who referred us to their last statement on Savchenko, dated from 20 February, where they call on the media to "Let the investigators to finish their job. Let the court of justice to determine Savchenko's degree of guilt of and punishment for the crimes she is charged with." Savchenko is currently scheduled to appear in court on May 13. | Captive Ukrainian pilot sends message to Putin as she awaits trial in a Moscow jail .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)There is only one likely outcome for Baghdad's current military offensive to reclaim Tikrit: defeat for ISIS. The campaign to restore central government authority over the restive Salahudin province is seen as both symbolic and strategic for Baghdad which has invested too much already for it to afford losing this battle. ISIS are said to have booby-trapped much of the city in an attempt to slow down the government assault. However, the task at hand has been made easier for Baghdad given that most civilians in Tikrit have already fled -- both to Kurdistan in the north as well as south to Baghdad -- leaving behind mostly ISIS jihadists who defend the city, according to Iraqi constitutional specialist Zaid al-Ali, who is from the city. Initial reports of the multi-pronged attack on Tikrit have been encouraging. Iraqi forces have already cleared a number of areas on the outskirts and are expected to continue advancing towards the city center as both heavy artillery and helicopter gunships pound ISIS militants who have taken up defensive positions. Another crucial element for the success of this battle will be the varied make-up of the groups involved in the fight. The joint Iraqi forces fighting to retake Tikrit include Iraqi troops, members of the mainly Shia Hashd al-Shabi paramilitary force, members of the Sunni Sons of Salahuddin brigades, and other Sunni tribal fighters. The offensive involves around 30,000 fighters in all. Although the campaign is Iraqi-led, help from outside is also going to play an important role. Though the United States has not conducted any airstrikes in this campaign yet, this may well change as the battle develops. Iran, in stark contrast to the U.S., provided Iraq with immediate and much-needed military assistance when the security crisis escalated last June. The Iranians are heavily invested in this current campaign and are also not going to let the Iraqis lose. Unlike in Syria, the Americans and Iranians both share a common enemy and a common friend in Iraq, but due to wider political considerations neither Washington nor Tehran will admit that there is any form of tacit cooperation in Iraq. However, the campaign for Tikrit is just another front where such cooperation is likely to be already happening behind the scenes. Baghdad will make use of U.S. intelligence that will almost certainly be shared with the Iranian officers who are advising the Iraqi army. General Qasim Suleimani, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Quds Force, who has played a key role in the fight against ISIS, was reported to be near Tikrit just hours after the military campaign was officially launched. Iran provides military advice, support and weapons not just through the central government in Baghdad but also directly to a number of increasingly powerful Shia militia groups that now operate under the state-sponsored paramilitary committee, the Hashd Al-Shabi, known as the "Popular Mobilization Units." The two key Iraqi leaders of this paramilitary command, Hadi al-Ameri and Abu Mehdi al-Mohandis, were also pictured together with General Fadhil Barwari, the commander of Iraq's elite Special Operation Forces. Though there are few civilians left in Tikrit, all eyes will be on the Iraqi security forces -- and especially the Shia militias --- to see if abuses are carried out once the enemy is routed. Prime Minister Abadi already warned the anti-ISIS fighters to protect civilians and properties in the area and also gave the "misled" ISIS militants a last chance to lay down their arms before the troops made their advance. The battle is an especially emotional one for the Shia soldiers and fighters as Tikrit is the site of the Camp Speicher massacre last June, where 1,700 Shia soldiers were captured, separated from their Sunni comrades and then summarily executed in an atrocity that was documented by ISIS as a powerful propaganda film. However, it is encouraging that both Shia and Sunni fighters are supporting the army in its effort to defeat ISIS. The cooperation between Shia and Sunni fighters will be crucial not just in the ongoing offensive in Tikrit but will also set the stage for further cooperation in the strategic campaign to recapture Mosul. Politically, these groups may not see eye-to-eye and of course there remain deep ethno-sectarian tensions in Iraq and beyond, but regardless of these differences they all view ISIS as a common threat and enemy that must be defeated. To be sure, the Sunni tribesmen involved in this campaign are more anti-ISIS than they are pro-government, but that they can work with the pro-government Shia militias is both good news and good progress for a country believed to be ripping itself apart along ethno-sectarian lines. | Likely outcome for Baghdad's current offensive to reclaim Tikrit is defeat for ISIS, writes Hayder al-Khoei .

From the passage provided, when was the home version of Pong released? | The first video game consoles were produced in the early 1970s. Ralph H. Baer devised the concept of playing simple, spot-based games on a television screen in 1966, which later became the basis of the Magnavox Odyssey in 1972. Inspired by the table tennis game on the Odyssey, Nolan Bushnell, Ted Dabney, and Allan Alcorn at Atari, Inc. developed the first successful arcade game, Pong, and looked to develop that into a home version, which was released in 1975. The first consoles were capable of playing only a very limited number of games built into the hardware. Programmable consoles using swappable ROM cartridges were introduced with the Fairchild Channel F in 1976, though popularized with the Atari 2600 released in 1977. | The home version of Pong was released in 1975. |

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | It's a key question to consider when making a hotel booking - do you want a lot of everything or the best of a few things? As Every Hotels launched its first venue in Piccadilly, London last week, it was clear that this kind of question provides the thinking behind its brand. To find out what guests really want, London-based hotel group glh conducted research over the last two years, most recently asking 4,000 adults globally what matters most when staying in a hotel. Each room at Every Hotels' new location in Piccadilly boasts a Hypnos bed and a complimentary mini-bar . Top three were a great night's sleep (86 per cent), no hidden extras (81 per cent) and fast and efficient check-in (67 per cent). Turning its back on the traditional hotel rating system, Every Hotels is striving to meet the demands of guests looking for fully-equipped bedrooms in hotels without meeting rooms, spas or a plethora of restaurants and bars. The company has stripped back all the non-room features usually found in four-star hotels, and instead focuses on quality rooms and a personal service. The Piccadilly venture is the first to open in London, with sites in Hyde Park, Leicester Square and Bloomsbury next on the agenda. Every Hotels has opened its first London location in Piccadilly, with three others planned . MailOnline Travel stayed the night to see whether they'd got the balance just right. Every Hotel Piccadilly offers modern, well-equipped rooms with Hypnos beds, Nespresso machines, complimentary mini-bar, free wifi, a great location, hosts genuinely knowledgeable about the local area and the opportunity to choose your room before you arrive. What strikes me is that senior executives involved with the project are very realistic; in the sense that they recognise there are many restaurants and bars to choose from in central London, that tourists will spend most of their time walking around, and that most businessmen will have office meetings in offices. And so the focus is on the accommodation, the comfort, and having facilities that don't force themselves onto guests. The company's research showed them that 52 per cent of Brits wanted a Nespresso machine in the room . My deluxe room is spacious and bright with a clean and sharp finish. The complimentary mini-bar is a nice touch. With stunning views of the heart of London, yet with soundproofing giving a great night's sleep, the rooms provide that well-deserved luxury after a day out traipsing the streets. The company's research showed them that 52 per cent of Brits wanted a Nespresso machine in the room, and 41 per cent demanded a Smart TV - so these are standard throughout. Richard Sofer, CEO Every Hotels, said: 'What came out loud and clear was that guests wanted a great room with great tech, in a great location. 'What is really important to today's guests, regardless of whether they are travelling for business or pleasure, is they don't want any hidden surprises. 'So, not only is our wifi complimentary, but so are our mini-bars, Nespresso machines, printing facilities and in room entertainment.' Rooms offer views of the heart of London, with soundproofing to ensure a great night's sleep . You won't find just one person at the reception having to handle a queue of customers. Nor will you see members of staff who see their role as simply 'a job'. Smiles are in abundance, from the moment I checked-in to when I ordered a beer from the bar. The staff are as excited as senior management to see how the new venue fares in an ultra-competitive market. Mike DeNoma, CEO of glh, added: 'We believe we conduct more research than anyone our size, we do this to help us better understand the modern traveller, who has a new set of expectations.' The hotel is hoping its varied breakfast can set it ahead of its rivals in London. A delightful selection of fruit, breads and yoghurt compliments an extensive hot food selection. Crisp and steaming bacon, and wholesome sausages form the main part of the traditional fry-up. And as it's all-you-can eat it would be rude not to fill up, right? Every Hotels .

Summarize the main components of a Kubernetes cluster control plane from this paragraph | Kubernetes defines a set of building blocks ("primitives") that collectively provide mechanisms that deploy, maintain, and scale applications based on CPU, memory or custom metrics. Kubernetes is loosely coupled and extensible to meet different workloads. The internal components as well as extensions and containers that run on Kubernetes rely on the Kubernetes API. The platform exerts its control over compute and storage resources by defining resources as Objects, which can then be managed as such.
Kubernetes follows the primary/replica architecture. The components of Kubernetes can be divided into those that manage an individual node and those that are part of the control plane.
Control plane
The Kubernetes master node handles the Kubernetes control plane of the cluster, managing its workload and directing communication across the system. The Kubernetes control plane consists of various components, each its own process, that can run both on a single master node or on multiple masters supporting high-availability clusters. The various components of the Kubernetes control plane are as follows:
etcd is a persistent, lightweight, distributed, key-value data store that CoreOS has developed. It reliably stores the configuration data of the cluster, representing the overall state of the cluster at any given point of time. etcd favors consistency over availability in the event of a network partition (see CAP theorem). The consistency is crucial for correctly scheduling and operating services.
The API server serves the Kubernetes API using JSON over HTTP, which provides both the internal and external interface to Kubernetes. The API server processes and validates REST requests and updates the state of the API objects in etcd, thereby allowing clients to configure workloads and containers across worker nodes. The API server uses etcd's watch API to monitor the cluster, roll out critical configuration changes, or restore any divergences of the state of the cluster back to what the deployer declared. As an example, the deployer may specify that three instances of a particular "pod" (see below) need to be running. etcd stores this fact. If the Deployment Controller finds that only two instances are running (conflicting with the etcd declaration), it schedules the creation of an additional instance of that pod.
The scheduler is the extensible component that selects on which node an unscheduled pod (the basic entity managed by the scheduler) runs, based on resource availability. The scheduler tracks resource use on each node to ensure that workload is not scheduled in excess of available resources. For this purpose, the scheduler must know the resource requirements, resource availability, and other user-provided constraints or policy directives such as quality-of-service, affinity vs. anti-affinity requirements, and data locality. The scheduler's role is to match resource "supply" to workload "demand".
A controller is a reconciliation loop that drives the actual cluster state toward the desired state, communicating with the API server to create, update, and delete the resources it manages (e.g., pods or service endpoints). One kind of controller is a Replication Controller, which handles replication and scaling by running a specified number of copies of a pod across the cluster. It also handles creating replacement pods if the underlying node fails. Other controllers that are part of the core Kubernetes system include a DaemonSet Controller for running exactly one pod on every machine (or some subset of machines), and a Job Controller for running pods that run to completion (e.g., as part of a batch job). Labels selectors that are part of the controller's definition specify the set of pods that a controller manages.
The controller manager is a process that manages a set of core Kubernetes controllers. | The kubernetes cluster control plane runs on one more more master nodes. The components are:
1. etcd - a key value datastore containing the configuration data of the cluster.
2. The api-server is a server which serves and updates the state of the kubernetes cluster. It watches etcd and keeps the clusters actual state in sync with its desired state.
3. The scheduler is a component which selects on which node an unscheduled pod should run, based on what each pod needs and what the nodes in the cluster can support.
4. The controller manager manages several controllers which keep the cluster in sync with its desired state. |

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Australia lodged a formal complaint Friday over the treatment of two drug smugglers sentenced to death in Indonesia during their transfer to an island where they are expected to face execution. During the transfer, a senior Indonesian police officer was pictured in photos with the Australian pair on a flight. Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan were being taken from Kerobokan prison in Bali to Nusakambangan island in Central Java, where they will be held in a maximum security facility before facing a 12-man firing squad. The date of the execution is not yet known, although the convicted will be informed at least 72 hours before they are put to death. Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs said it had lodged a formal complaint with the Indonesian embassy in Canberra over the treatment of the prisoners during the transfer, which took place before dawn on Wednesday. Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told Australian media that an undue show of force, including armored vehicles and dozens of officers in helmets and balaclavas, was also used during the transfer. "I just cannot comprehend it. They are two men who are described by their own prison governors as model citizens, two gentlemen who pose no risk to anyone," she told the ABC's AM program. "I cannot comprehend the manner or the method of their transfer to the so-called execution island." A spokesman for Indonesia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the photos were taken without the consent of the officer involved, Commissioner Djoko Hari Utomo. "The officer was inquiring about the physical condition of Mr Chan," Arrmanatha Nasir told CNN in regard to one of the images. "It is regretful that this photo is being used by the media to portray something more than what it really is." Australia's complaint comes after Indonesia dismissed a last-minute proposal to save the pair's lives through a prisoner swap. Nasir told CNN that there are no Indonesian laws that would allow or provide for an exchange. "Indonesia does not have legislation or laws or any other legal instruments that will enable the issue of a prisoner exchange to be conducted," he said, adding that the Australian government had been informed of this stance. Sukumaran and Chan, members of the so-called "Bali Nine" smuggling ring, have been held by Indonesian authorities for nearly a decade. They are expected to be held in a maximum security facility on Nusakambangan where they will be isolated before being put to death. They are among a number of people from different countries who are also scheduled for execution. Australian government and opposition parliamentarians attended a candlelight vigil at dawn Thursday, as a spectacular sunrise lit politicians from across Australia's political spectrum, united in opposition to the impending executions. "We appeal to the Indonesian president to grant a stay of clemency," Bishop told the gathering. She reminded the Indonesian government that legal avenues remained open, before appealing for mercy on behalf of the convicted men's families. "I've spoken to the families. They are going through an unimaginably difficult time and I ask that you think of the families who are praying that their son, brother, grandson can have their life spared. We appeal again to President Widodo, the leader of a strong and proud country, to show mercy and forgiveness and spare the lives of these two young Australians." Australia has repeatedly appealed for clemency for the pair. They have been jailed since April 2005 for a failed bid to smuggle more than 8 kilograms of heroin from Bali to Australia. OPINION: Why executions won't win Indonesia's drug war . Prime Minister Tony Abbott said people should not let anger affect Australians' relationship with Indonesia. "We abhor drug crime, but we abhor the death penalty. We think that these two Australians deserve to be punished, but they certainly don't deserve to be executed," he said. The Bali Nine were arrested after Indonesian police received a tip from Australian Federal Police. Chan, 31, was called the ringleader of the plot, and Sukumaran was described as Chan's collaborator in the scheme. Seven other people who participated in the plan are serving lengthy prison sentences. Police caught four people at the Denpasar airport with more than 8 kilograms of heroin strapped to their bodies. Another four -- including Sukumaran -- were arrested at a hotel in the village of Kuta. Chan was detained after a boarding a plane to Sydney -- he wasn't carrying any drugs but was named by others as the mastermind of the plot. The Indonesian administrative court last week dismissed a case filed by lawyers of the two Australians against President Joko Widodo. The attorneys wanted a review of the president's decision to deny them clemency. Todung Mulya Lubis, who represents the pair, said a challenge had been submitted to the administrative court and lawyers were still waiting for a court summons. "There should be no execution as long as there is a legal process going on," Lubis said. Sukumaran and Chan have become model prisoners during their time behind bars, according to fellow inmates and the jail's chief warden.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Real Madrid fell to a lacklustre 1-0 defeat at the hands of Athletic Bilbao Saturday, potentially handing the La Liga advantage to arch rival Barcelona. A stunning header from Aritz Aduriz shortly before half time was enough to win the day for an organized and impressive Bilbao. Real piled on the pressure for much of the second half but couldn't find a way past a staunch opponent despite finishing the match with four strikers on the park. Gareth Bale struck a post with an extraordinary shot from close to the halfway line as full time approached while Arduriz almost doubled Bilbao's lead with another headed chance late on. The result means second placed Barca can now take top spot should it win at home to mid-table Rayo Vallecano Sunday. Of more immediate concern to Real boss Carlo Ancelotti after the game, however, was his side's lack of cutting edge. "I think the problem we are having at the moment is quite clear," Ancelotti told reporters. "We are not finding a way through like we did in the games before. We've only scored one goal, from a penalty, in two games. "That is the problem we have to fix. We lack efficiency up front." Real are now without a win in two league games while the 4-0 February hammering at the hands of city rivals Atletico Madrid, the clubs biggest derby defeat since 1947, is still fresh in the memory. With the second El Classico fixture of the season against Barcelona only a fortnight away, Ancelotti is looking for a quick fix to his side's attacking inhibitions. However, such worries are of little concern to a Bilbao side celebrating its first win over Real in five years. After a slow start to the season the Basques are now up to eighth position. "We are very proud of how hard we worked," goalscorer Arduriz said in comments carried by the AFP news agency. "The three points will prove a huge boost." "The fans have enjoyed it a lot and they deserved that after the poor performances at San Mames earlier in the season." Bayern Munich continued its seemingly inexorable march to a third consecutive Bundesliga title with a come from behind 3-1 victory away to Hannover. Hiroshi Kiyotake gave the hosts a surprise lead after 25 minutes but Xabi Alonso levelled shortly after. A second half brace from Thomas Muller ensured the Bavarians would increase their league at the top of the Bundesliga to 11 points as second place Wolfsburg fell to a 1-0 defeat at Augsburg. Elsewhere Saturday, Borussia Dortmund's winning streak came to an end with as Jurgen Klopp's revitalized side were held to a 0-0 draw with Hamburg. Paris Saint Germain returned to the top of the Ligue 1 table, for 24 hours at least, with a convincing 4-1 win over Lens at the Parc de Princes. David Luiz opened the scoring as the first half came to a close before Zlatan Ibrahimovic doubled the Parisian's advantage from the penalty spot on the hour mark. Substitutes Blaise Matuidi and Javier Pastore secured the win after Yoann Touzghar had pulled one back deficit for Lens. Lyon will return to the Ligue 1 summit should it dispose of Montpelier Sunday.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Anthony DeNicola died after suffering an apparent heart attack while locked in a McDonald's restroom . A widow is suing McDonald's after her husband suffered a fatal heart attack in the restroom - and no-one was able to help him because the door was 'dead-bolted from the inside'. Anthony DeNicola died after suffering an apparent heart attack in June 2013 at the fast food restaurant in Brooklyn, New York. In a $10million lawsuit filed by Anna DeNicola in Brooklyn Supreme Court last week, it is alleged that medical assistance to save Mr DeNicola was delayed because the one-stall restroom was shut with a slide lock. The 67-year-old grandfather, a part-time truck driver, had been meeting friends at the 86th Street branch for breakfast near his home in Bensonhurst before a fishing trip. He went to use the restroom, but when he had not returned several minutes later, his friends went to check on him. They received no answer when they knocked on the door. Emergency services were called, but it took firefighters around 15 minutes to open the door - and Mr DeNicola had already died. His son Anthony DeNicola Jr. said employees 'told them there's no way to get in, there's nothing they can do'. The 38-year-old told The New York Post: 'If somebody could have opened the door, they could have started CPR on him until emergency workers got there. 'What if somebody had been able to open that door? He'd still be here.' He added his late father had been planning a surprise retirement party for his wife, but instead, his funeral was held on that day. The family's lawyer, Stephen Spinelli, said there was no way to open the door to the restroom from the outside and employees at the restaurant were not helpful. He added the restaurant has 'a duty to offer their customers a safe environment'. The 67-year-old had been meeting friends at the 86th Street branch (pictured) near Bensonhurst, Brooklyn . McDonald's Franchisee Paul Hendel told MailOnline: 'Our family-owned restaurant business has proudly served the Bensonhurst community for over 19 years and is committed to ensuring the safety of all our customers and employees. 'We were deeply saddened by the loss of our guest Anthony, who visited our restaurant regularly.' He added: 'As this is a legal matter, it would be inappropriate for me to comment further.' | Anthony DeNicola died after suffering an apparent heart attack in 2013 .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)A video appears online. In it, fraternity members from your university are chanting a hateful, racist song about lynching African-Americans. The video goes viral. You're president of the university. Imagine being in that situation. What would you do? There are two ways to answer the question. The first is in the moment of crisis. The second is about the long term. As most everyone knows by now, David Boren, president of the University of Oklahoma, faced just this situation Monday. And I've been thinking about it intensely, not only because I care about race and civic leadership in America, but also because Boren was my first boss, when he was a U.S. senator. I'm not from Oklahoma but ended up working for Boren through a college internship. He was a mentor to me during my years in Washington, and a model for me when he left the Beltway to be of greater use and service as an educator. Though we haven't talked since the crisis broke, I see familiar patterns of leadership. Boren responded to the crisis swiftly, with a statement that went viral. Boren told the students from Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) he had a message for them: "You are disgraceful. You have violated all that we stand for. You should not have the privilege of calling yourselves Sooners" (the OU nickname). Boren went on to sever all ties between OU and SAE. The national fraternity closed the local chapter. Later, Boren said he'd be glad if the students in the video left campus because "we don't provide student services for bigots." The next day he expelled two of them. His actions have resonated across the country. On social media, people shocked by the video find themselves also stunned by Boren's response. Why? Because he did something rare in public life today. He expressed a decisive, judgmental view with moral clarity. Then he followed through. His statements have been free of mushy lawyer-talk or euphemism. He's led authentically, from the heart. Of course, people have carped. Some question whether Boren has the legal authority, as head of a public institution, to expel students on the basis of their free speech, even racist hate speech. Some lament that what he should have branded as disgraceful was the students' actions, not the students themselves. Legitimate concerns, perhaps. The First Amendment question, certainly, is being debated by legal scholars. But these concerns are eclipsed by the bigger picture. Boren wasn't just condemning wrongdoers; he was shifting social norms for all. A cynic might consider laughable a refrain from Boren's statement about "real Sooners." Boren said that real Sooners are not racists or bigots; they believe in equal opportunity, treat people with mutual respect and love each other like family. A cynic might say Oklahoma is a state both very white and very red, not known for flying the banner of anti-racism. Indeed, the original Sooners were the white settlers who raced in to claim land that had been wrested from Native Americans. But the point of Boren's "real Sooners" riff is not to describe or sanitize today's reality; it is to issue a challenge. It is to bind people to a creed, a standard of being and belief that is easy to assert but hard to achieve. Not unlike being a true patriot. So now begins the longer term. Here, another opportunity arises to lead by example. David Boren can now examine the institution he works for and ask how and why such attitudes and behaviors -- racism so casually vicious -- could ever take root among people as young as freshmen. He can explore the ways in which everyone -- not only the obviously guilty parties at a frat party -- is touched by unconscious bias and institutional racism. He can now ask his community to face the inequities of history and race. We can all do that. Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks, is doing this at his company. He was moved after the incidents of Ferguson and Staten Island to hold truly open forums with employees about the pain and anguish of racial division. But you don't have to be a college president or a CEO. You don't have to be a white man in charge to start a tough reckoning with racism (though it'd help if more did). Whoever you are, you can start a new kind of conversation in your neighborhood. On your campus. At your house of worship. Ask what the history is. Ask why there are such imbalances of power and voice. Ask what it would take to be truly inclusive. Then, in word and deed, start answering your own questions. We can all do that. The sooner, the better. | David Boren, president of the University of Oklahoma, responded to offensive video .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Adorning a large section of a wall in the gym beneath Twickenham’s West Stand is a picture of the England team smiling for the cameras and showing off the Triple Crown. It was taken last year and the expressions worn by captain Chris Robshaw and his colleagues convey a genuine sense of pride. That silver shield has eluded the national team this year, following defeat in Dublin, but it is not the precious metal they covet anyway. On head coach Stuart Lancaster’s watch, the trophy cabinet has been kept stocked. In the course of three years, in addition to the Triple Crown, England have lifted the Calcutta Cup (annually), the Millennium Trophy, the Cook Cup and the Hillary Shield. The latter prize, for beating New Zealand in December, 2012, was received with special relish. Luther Burrell sets off on a run during training as England prepare to face France . But what the coaches and players really crave is a cup that conveys meaningful achievement, and at last that is within their grasp. Robshaw summed up the mood: ‘As a player you want to be picking up silverware. We've collected the odd bit here and there, but to pick up the main trophy would be great.’ The ‘main trophy’, newly commissioned, for winning the RBS 6 Nations is England’s for the taking. Success would also end a generation of under-achievement. It is staggering that the world’s wealthiest rugby country has had so little to show for so much effort and investment in the modern era. England won three of the first four RBS 6 Nations titles (2000, 2001, 2003) but since then have finished top just once in 11 seasons. So near, but so far has been the story of many English campaigns, not least under the current regime. Three times Lancaster’s men have finished runners-up, with four wins out of five. Wales (twice), and France have derailed the Sweet Chariot on its route to a Grand Slam. Everyone in the Red Rose camp has grown weary of the perennial talk about the need for ‘tangible’ reward, to use lock Geoff Parling’s apt phrase. Defeat by Ireland shattered the latest quest for a clean sweep to propel the host nation into their World Cup, but England are still in prime position in terms of the three-way title tussle. This year, four wins from five should be sufficient to clinch the trophy, which will be at Twickenham in anticipation of a coronation at about 7pm. There is a replica at Murrayfield, just in case Ireland run amok and beat Scotland with room to spare and leave England chasing a points-difference tally that proves beyond them. Meanwhile, in Rome, Wales will expect to benefit from the enforced absence of Italy captain Sergio Parisse but they would require French and Scottish resistance on an epic scale to take the title. The made-for-TV staggered schedule affords Lancaster’s side the luxury of a precise target but that could be a blessing or a curse. Being aware of the bigger picture could be a distraction for some England players, hence the coaches’ desire to burden only a select few with the main decision-making responsibilities. It will be up to Robshaw and his half-backs, Ben Youngs and George Ford, to set a patient tone once what is needed has been explained to the whole squad before their pre-match warm-up. The remarkable maturity of England No 10 Ford, at just 22, should be a telling asset on a day when the challenge is equal parts mental and physical. England's players look on in disbelief as Ireland clinch the 2014 Six Nations title by beating France . George Ford has shown a huge amount of maturity for some one who is just 22 . Philippe Saint-Andre’s France team do not boast glorious form, far from it, despite the emphatic 29-0 victory over Italy in Rome last weekend. Crucially, that game took place 24 hours after England beat Scotland and since then Les Bleus have had to fly home, patch themselves up and catch the Eurostar to London, while also dealing with the distraction of a club v country row over fly-half Camille Lopez. What the visitors will bring is physical presence. The French are massive but this English pack has dealt with all-comers in recent times, and the graduated return of Courtney Lawes and Parling in the second row should add dynamism and line-out nous to the mix. Nick Easter could have a big role to play coming off the bench for England . Courtney Lawes should add dynamism to England's back row . Behind the packs, England are more settled and threatening. Jonathan Joseph’s match-up with Gael Fickou will be intriguing, but only if the French threequarters are let off the leash. Ford can make holes in the Gallic defence but England cannot afford to be as wasteful as they were in beating Scotland. Replacements could also have a big say and England will look to the likes of Tom Youngs and Nick Easter to generate momentum, Tom Wood to provide physicality and leadership, and Richard Wigglesworth to make an impact with his astute kicking game. Whether or not Danny Cipriani and Billy Twelvetrees play a part in a points chase, time will tell. Amid the maelstrom, the primary demand from Lancaster will be for cool English heads. Robshaw should have plenty of leadership support, from Parling and a raft of club captains in the ranks: Joe Marler and Dylan Hartley, James Haskell and Ben Youngs. There may be several rookies in white, but there are also enough established players. Together, they can ensure that the plot is not lost and that the ‘main trophy’ is won. | England will know what they need to do to win the title when they kick off .

Indeed a recent study found that making the average home 'smart' costs £1,509 ($2,519). But now Canadian-based Piper has created an all-in-one security and home automation device that looks like a regular camera but syncs with an app that is used to control appliances.

Generate a summary of the text | The emotion of gaining a career breakthrough and striking a blow for the less gilded outfits at Cheltenham proved too much for Warren Greatrex. The unsung 40-year-old trainer was unable to blink back the tears behind his spectacles after Cole Harden had provided him with a first Festival winner, and in the biggest race of the day, the World Hurdle. It was a victory for an emerging trainer, ridden by his freshman jockey Gavin Sheehan on a 14-1 horse owned by former customs and excise investigator Robin Eynon and his wife Jill from Winchester. Cole Harden makes every yard of the running to win the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival . Gavin Sheehan celebrates winning the Ladbrokes World Hurdle, his first victory at the Cheltenham Festival . Sheehan gets to work on Cole Harden as he wins from the front on the third day of the famous Festival . 1 Cole Harden (G Sheehan) 14-1 . 2 Saphir Du Rheu (Sam Twiston-Davies) 5-1 Fav . 3 Zarkandar (N D Fehily) 6-1 . Suddenly the winners’ enclosure looked less the preserve of the fabulously wealthy and the heavyweights of the industry they employ. There was incredulity among the victorious names that they had elevated themselves to the kind of company more regularly associated with names like McManus, Mullins and McCoy. Cole Harden had struck out for the front from the off and stayed there for three miles, winning by three-and-a-quarter lengths. ‘If you’re going to break your duck you may as well make it a big one. Anyone that knows me will tell you I can talk all day long but I’m stuck for words,’ said Greatrex, who eventually managed to articulate his achievement. ‘I’m small, I’m a youngster at this. I’ve got nine runners here, we’re breaking through — we’re trying to compete with the big guys and hopefully this will help. We’ve beaten the best. You look at the next two horses behind and they’re trained by Paul Nicholls ... unbelievable.’ Sheehan celebrates as he crosses the line in front of the favourite Saphir Du Rheu at Cheltenham . Sheehan gives the horse a pat after a brilliant front-running performance on Cole Harden . Sheehan celebrates with Daryl Jacob after riding Cole Harden to victory in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle . After a modest career as a jockey in which he rode 13 winners, Greatrex served a long apprenticeship as a trainer, working under some of the finest in the business such as David Nicholson, Josh Gifford and Oliver Sherwood. He now works out of Uplands, the former premises of legendary jockey and trainer Fred Winter in Lambourn, where he has built up a mid-size yard of 75 horses. ‘I am sure the Duke (Nicholson) is looking down from somewhere with pride and I hope Fred would have been proud as well,’ said Greatrex. His faith in Cole Harden was tested when, after a win at Wetherby in November, he struggled in the January’s Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham and so, less than two months ago, was sent for an operation. ‘I was struggling with him early season, having trouble with his wind, but then he won at Wetherby. He wasn’t right at the Cleeve, so we had it done. It was a soft pallet operation, not a big thing, but I knew we needed to do something.’ Trainer Warren Greatrex and jockey Gavin Sheehan celebrate their first ever success at the Festival . Sheehan takes the acclaim of the crowd as he heads for the Winners' Enclosure on Cole Harden . If Greatrex is a different name to conjure with then so is Eynon, who comes from a less ostentatious school than the increasingly select number of tycoon owners who dominate national hunt racing, like JP McManus, Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary and American Rich Ricci, with his permanently attached sunglasses. Cole Harden is one of two horses he owns, along with a half-share in Paint The Clouds, running in today’s Foxhunter’s Chase. He is the kind of enthusiast who makes a pilgrimage to Cheltenham at least once a year, regardless of whether he has a horse running or not. ‘We’ve had horses since 1996 and this is the best day we’ve had so far,’ he said. ‘We’ve been lucky, every horse we’ve had has done quite well. I’ve forgotten how much we spent on Cole Harden, it wasn’t much; we don’t spend a lot on horses. ‘I’ve been retired a few years but I worked for many years as an investigator for Customs and Excise in London, in a department that doesn’t exist anymore because Gordon Brown closed it. ‘When you get something like this it’s really special. We always come to Cheltenham once a year and if they got rid of the traffic we’d be here every time.’ While Cole Harden’s victory provided the romance, the powerhouse yard of Willie Mullins notched his sixth winner of the meeting after Vautour destroyed the field in the earlier JLT Novices’ Chase. Ruby Walsh and Vautour romp home to leave trainer Willie Mullins dreaming of next year's Gold Cup . The Irish trainer, now just one short of Nicky Henderson’s record of winners for the meeting, could scarcely contain his excitement about the 6-4 favourite’s potential, which could exceed that of Faugheen ‘The Machine’. ‘This is the real machine,’ said Mullins. ‘He is a Gold Cup horse.’ Jockey Ruby Walsh was equally effusive after his 15-length victory. ‘He jumped like a gazelle and quickened up so impressively off the bend, it was flawless,’ he said. ‘The horses behind are very good and he ran them ragged.’ | Cole Harden won the World Hurdle from the front at Cheltenham .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)The maker of a controversial documentary about rape in India, Leslee Udwin, told CNN she is shocked by the Indian authorities' move to ban the film without even having seen it. The storm over "India's Daughter" blew up out of nowhere and is "based on nothing," Udwin said, in an interview for CNN's "The World Right Now with Hala Gorani." "The tragedy here is it's a missed opportunity for India to actually show by embracing the film... to show the world that India is as concerned as the rest of the world is to put gender inequality on the agenda," she said. The BBC documentary featured an interview with one of the men convicted in an infamous 2012 gang rape case in New Delhi that sparked massive outrage and protests in India. An Indian court restricted the publication and airing of the film in India as well as the dissemination of excerpts from it after comments by Mukesh Singh, the interviewed convict, were released in several media outlets. Singh appeared to show no remorse and blamed the rape victim for being out at night, according to the documentary. The government has also asked Google to remove excerpts of the film from video sharing site YouTube. A Google India spokeswoman, Paroma Roy Chowdhury, said it would comply on the Indian YouTube site, "as we are required to do so by the local law." A statement from the company read: "While we believe that access to information is the foundation of a free society, and that services like YouTube help people express themselves and share different points of view, we continue to remove content that is illegal or violates our community guidelines, once notified." Udwin told CNN the restrictions appear to have been motivated by fear of "public disorder." "I presume they mean protests," she said. It was, in fact, the street protests, not the brutality of the crime, that first inspired Udwin to make the film. But Udwin, who spent 16 hours interviewing Singh in prison over the course of three days, said the experience was chilling. "He told me everything that happened that night, he told me everything about his attitudes towards society, women, hanging, all sorts... He blamed her -- the society blames girls, the society itself," she said. "Look here's the thing: All this hysteria... people must understand these men are products of a learned attitude. They are programmed, they are brainwashed. The society itself tells girls to stay indoors after dark." Udwin said she had done everything she could to elicit a human response from Singh. She even had a list of the girl's horrific rape-inflicted injuries, from which she died, read to him in Hindi while she recorded his face. "There were a few twitches but there was no remorse, there was no emotion, I don't think he is capable of emotion," she said. Singh, who was driving the bus on which the girl was attacked while traveling home from the movies with a male friend, is now on death row and has filed an appeal. But all Singh says about how he, and the other men convicted over the rape, have been treated is to ask why such a fuss is being made about them when "everybody's doing it," Udwin said. At the heart of the matter, she said, is the issue of gender inequality. From birth, boys in India and many other countries are accorded a higher status than girls, so it's unsurprising that they go on to treat women as lesser beings. She compares gender inequality to a cancerous tumor that shows its spread through offenses against women. The dead girl's father, who is also interviewed in the film, explained that in order to send his daughter to medical college, he sold a piece of ancestral land -- a big deal in India, Udwin said. "When he did that, his whole family was in revolt," said Udwin. "They said, 'Why are you selling it to educate a girl?' "Now that is a comment that is in the documentary, uttered by the father. Why is nobody saying to me, 'How dare you put that comment in the documentary'?" In a statement, India's home minister said the documentary crew violated the conditions granting the jail interview, which stipulated that the authorities be shown all unedited footage. But Udwin strongly rejected that claim. "It would appear that the home minister has been utterly misinformed," she said. "The permissions to interview this man were absolutely cast iron and all of the conditions imposed by them were obeyed by me and my team." Udwin also speaks out for the "massive swaths of Indian people who are so forward looking, who are so embracing of change and are agents of that change. "There are extraordinary women's groups who have been working for generations towards this change. Those protests were so admirable -- that's what took me out there." And she stresses that the issues of gender inequality and sexual violence against women are not confined to India. The film ends with a series of statistics on sexual violence from other countries, she said, including the United States and United Kingdom. This means that "no viewer is is left off the hook at the end of the film in terms of thinking, 'This is something that happens to people over there.' This happens to us, to every country," Udwin said. CNN's Harmeet Shah Singh contributed to this report. | Documentary maker Leslee Udwin says she's shocked by Indian authorities' ban on showing her film .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Washington (CNN)If it looks like a treaty, walks like a treaty and talks like a treaty, is it a treaty? According to the White House, only if the President of the United States says it is. That's infuriating Republicans and even some Democrats, who are demanding that the Obama administration submit any final nuclear deal with Iran to Congress for approval. "This is clearly a treaty," Arizona Sen. John McCain told reporters Tuesday. "They can call it a banana, but it's a treaty." Kerry denounces GOP letter to Iran leaders . The GOP position could jeopardize the long-term survival of any Iran deal, and it represents the party's newest clash with President Barack Obama over the limits of executive authority, as Republicans object to a pact they warn could eventually give Tehran a nuclear bomb. It's that skepticism that has largely led the White House to define the deal as a "nonbinding agreement" rather than a "treaty," which the Constitution requires Senate "advice and consent" on. The distinction -- and whether it can legitimately be used to shut out Congress -- turns on complicated and unresolved questions of constitutional law. While Republicans call foul, the administration defends the differentiation as perfectly sound, and no surprise. Secretary of State John Kerry stressed Wednesday that the administration never intended to negotiate a treaty. "We've been clear from the beginning. We're not negotiating a 'legally binding plan.' We're negotiating a plan that will have in it a capacity for enforcement," he said at a Senate hearing. That doesn't sit well with Republicans, many of whom believe the Senate's constitutional role is being bypassed. Idaho Sen. James Risch dismissed the administration's argument: "Let there be no mistake, this is a treaty that is being negotiated. It's a treaty and should be treated as such." Did 47 Republican senators break the law in plain sight? Republicans see criticism of the administration's maneuver as a way to gum up the works on the current deal, and to push their larger assault on the White House's exercise of power. At the Senate hearing Wednesday, Kentucky Republican Rand Paul explicitly tied the administration's bid to keep the deal away from Congress to other accusations of White House overreach. "This is an administration that seeks to legislate when that is not in their purview, whether it be immigration, whether it be health care," he charged, noting that he had joined 46 other GOP senators in signing a letter to the Islamic Republic informing them of Congress's role in approving binding agreements. "I signed the letter to Iran. But you know what? The message I was sending was to you," he told Kerry. "I signed it to an administration that doesn't listen, to an administration that, every turn, tries to go around Congress because you think you can't get your way." But legal experts say that though a court challenge along the lines of pending GOP cases on immigration and health care is possible in theory, it would be a long shot. There is no currently no suit on the issue being discussed on Capitol Hill, and it's far from clear that Republicans would be standing on firm legal ground with such a challenge. The debate, rumbling for decades, has yet to be definitively resolved in case law. "It is a very interesting question," said Nicholas Burns, a former senior U.S. diplomat, arguing that it is essentially up to the administration to decide whether it is negotiating an agreement that formally binds the United States to commitments under international law; i.e., a treaty, or a less stringent arrangement. Senators grill Obama officials on Iran . Jim Walsh, a specialist on the Iran nuclear program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said the Iran deal, which commits the United States to waive or lift sanctions, does not rise to the level of a formal treaty. "Treaties traditionally have involved reductions in armaments, nuclear weapons, conventional forces. They require us to take something away that we have already built or established." In this case, the United States would lift sanctions, but would not be changing its military posture. "We have had all sorts of agreement that were never ratified by Congress," Walsh said. But David Rivkin, a constitutional and international law expert who worked for President George H.W. Bush, said that any international agreement requiring major undertakings on the part of the United States -- such as the proposed Iran deal -- must be sent to the Senate for advice and consent. "The Constitution is quite clear," he said. Republicans point to none less than the vice president of the United States to bolster their case. When Vice President Joe Biden was a senator in 2002, he wrote a letter to then-Secretary of State Colin Powell charging that a planned strategic arms reductions deal with Russia constituted a treaty subject to Senate approval since it would require "significant obligations by the United States." But Biden's 2002 letter didn't keep him from unleashing his fury at the GOP letter to Iran on Monday. "Around the world, America's influence depends on its ability to honor its commitments," Biden said in a statement. While Congress approves some agreements, "as the authors of this letter must know, the vast majority of our international commitments take effect without congressional approval." Indeed, in the letter he penned to Iran, Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton acknowledged that the administration could seek a mere "executive agreement" free of congressional review. Obama, Iranian official slam GOP letter on deal . Presidents claim inherent powers to conclude executive agreements under Article II of the Constitution. U.S. law stipulates that an agreement is only viewed as a treaty once it has been made with "the advice and consent of the Senate," a study by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service noted. But administrations often choose to conclude deals with foreign states that don't satisfy that requirement. Such an "executive agreement" is still considered a treaty that is binding under international law, but does not reach the same standard under U.S. law, according to the study. Examples of "nonbinding" documents include a U.S.-Russia to remove Syria's stocks of chemical weapons and the Proliferation Security Initiative to stop the global shipment of the weapons of mass destruction components. Biden argued Monday that this practice is as old as the United States itself. "Under presidents of both parties, such major shifts in American foreign policy as diplomatic recognition of the People's Republic of China, the resolution of the Iran hostage crisis, and the conclusion of the Vietnam War were all conducted without congressional approval," he said in his statement opposing the GOP letter. The White House would clearly prefer a binding agreement with Iran, which would have a better chance of longevity. But the strength of opposition in Congress makes that route impossible. According to Republicans such as Cotton, the only deal the Senate would approve is one that completely bans Iranian uranium enrichment. Obama has said that goal is simply not realistic. So Republicans, dissatisfied with what's emerging from negotiations, are seizing on the vulnerability of a deal that lacks treaty status. Many see that as a more viable path for disruption than the case on administration overreach. "If Congress doesn't approve this deal, Congress won't accept this deal, now or in the future," Cotton told CNN. In the letter, he informed Iranian leaders that many senators will serve terms longer than Obama, so they would have to reckon with the Senate at some point. Lawmakers can refuse to lift sanctions down the road or try to choke off funds for the deal's implementation. The administration acknowledges that Congress will have to get involved at some point. Obama currently has the power to lift or waive certain sanctions against Iran for the duration of his presidency and encourage U.S. international partners to follow suit. But he does not have the power to lift sanctions imposed by Congress, which include some of the most punitive measures against Iran. "Part of the agreement is going to involve sanctions relief to the Iranian government that is meted out over time," Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes told CNN. "At some time in the duration of this agreement, Congress will have to be heard on sanctions relief." Senior U.S. officials have acknowledged that the clamor among lawmakers for a role, as well as their public criticisms, also implicitly highlights the vulnerability of their case and an ultimate agreement. Tim Kaine, a Democratic senator from Virginia who has signed onto a bill calling for the White House to put any deal up for a vote in Congress, said that Obama is within his rights to do what he is doing -- up to a point. "It is not a treaty. If it were a treaty, there is a clear process. It would require a two-thirds vote in the Senate." But Kaine told CNN on Wednesday that lawmakers did have a role to play at the point when sanctions mandated by Congress are bargained away to ensure Iran sticks to limits on its nuclear program. "Congress has got to weigh in at some point," Kaine said. | White House, many Republicans disagree over deal terminology, requirements .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | England stretched their undefeated run to eight matches as a late Andros Townsend strike canceled out Graziano Pelle's first-half header. Here Sportsmail's Rob Draper casts his eye over Roy Hodgson's side and their Italian hosts. England (4-1-2-1-2) Joe Hart 7 . No blame attached for the goal and a very good save from Eder on 51 minutes. One of the positives for England. Nathaniel Clyne 5 (Walker 45) Always willing to offer an outlet in attack but the system left him exposed in defensive areas and switched at half time. Chris Smalling 5 . Aggressive and firm early on but along with Jagielka completely failed to dominate the box when needed most for Italy's goal. England and Tottenham forward Harry Kane is challenged by Italy and Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini . England and Manchester United defender Phil Jones (left) falls following a challenge from Roberto Soriano . Phil Jagielka 5 . Heavy touch in bring the ball out and, along with Smalling, failed to command the penalty area for Italy's goal. Look ill at ease. Kieran Gibbs 6 (Bertrand 88) Like Clyne, often looked lost without support from a wide midfielder. Had chance to equalise on 54 minutes but drove into side netting. Improved in second half. Phil Jones 4.5 (Carrick 44) When Carrick came on to relieve him from the holding midfield role as it was though he'd escaped purgatory. Static and beaten embarrassingly easily for the goal – but better, unsurprisingly as centre half. Two Italian fans share a smile ahead of the international friendly between Italy and England in Turin . England and Manchester United defender Chris Smalling hassles Italy's Eder Citadin Martins for the ball . Jordan Henderson 6 (Mason 74) Scurried here and there with plenty of intent but little guile. Didn't ever really settle into the system. Fabian Delph 5.5 (Townsend 70) Much the same. Harried and was strong in tackles but too often was a man chasing around in search of a game plan. Wayne Rooney 7 . The flashes of class England showed invariably came from him; shot off the bar on 22 minutes, a glorious cross field ball for Walcott on 27 minutes. Tested Buffon in second half – perhaps should have scored on 72 minutes. Harry Kane 6 . Lost in a vortex of team-mates' inability to pass the ball. Looked eager to impress with no opportunity to do so until late on when he had strikes to trouble Buffon. England and Aston Villa midfielder Fabian Delph (right) prepares to tackle Italy's Vitaliy Mandziuk on Tuesday . England and Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney (centre) is surrounded by Italian defenders in Turin . Theo Walcott 5 (Barkley 55) Looked out of place in a front two and even more so when he played behind the front two. Never convinced. SUBS . Michael Carrick 8 . Provided much better distribution that Jones could; baffling why he didn't start. England were much more fluid with him on the pitch. Kyle Walker 6 . Exposed almost immediately when Eder drifted past him to set up scoring chance but improved from thereon in. Michael Carrick passes the ball for England ahead of the oncoming challenge of Italy's Ciro Immobile (right) Tottenham forward Kane (left) takes a hand to the face from Italy defender Leonardo Bonucci (right) in Turin . Ross Barkley 7 . Offered more pace, drive and direction to the England midfield. Will be encouarged. Andros Townsend 7.5 .

Contributed to England's best spell . Ryan Bertrand 6 . Southampton and Italy striker Graziano Pelle (left) plays the ball ahead of the oncoming defender Jones (right) Italy: (3-5-2) Gianluigi Buffon 7.5 . Rarely called on initially but fine save from the Rooney striker on 72 minutes and then again on 80minutes. Andrea Ranocchia 6.5 . Part of an immaculate back three for an hour – suddenly looked a little vulnerable as the changes unsettled Italy. Leonardo Bonucci 7 . Looked imperious until the changes in the last 15 minutes left Italy looking a little exposed. Pelle scores the opening goal of the game with a glancing header across the England box on Tuesday night . The ball nestles into the bottom corner as Italy take the lead and England defenders watch on helplessly . Giorgio Chiellini 7.5 (Moretti 72) Beat Jagielka to deliver glorious wrong-footed cross for Pelle goal. Was great in defence before being wrong footed for the Rooney chance a minute before being taken off. Allesandro Florenzi 6.5 (Abate 60) Solid throughout – was full of running when England's midfield allowed him space in the first half. Marco Parolo 7 . Able and capable in possession – well on top of England's midfield for much of the game. Mirko Valdifiori 7 (Verratti 67) Quietly distributing in the Pirlo role – may never be in that class but did his job last night until replace by Verratti. England and Arsenal forward Theo Walcott attempts a shot at goal but is closed down by Andrea Ranocchia . Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon (right) comes out to punch the ball away from the head of England's Kane . Spurs forward Kane has another shot at goal but is closed down by Italy defender Ranocchia (right) in Turin . Roberto Soriano 6 . Decent performance, passed well and kept his head. Only lost track in final twenty minutes. Matteo Darmian 6.5 (Antonelli 73) Plenty on incursions down the left as Clyne struggle to contain his man. Graziano Pelle 7.5 (Immobile 60) Lovely glancing header to make it 1-0, his first goal since January. Replaced on the hour by Immobile. Eder Citaden Martins 6 (Vazquez 60) Not as successful as Pelle; best chance on 55 minutes when Hart saved.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)The march toward publication of another book by the reclusive "To Kill a Mockingbird" author continues forward. Many people who know her have raised questions about 88-year-old Harper Lee's ability to consent to publish another book, while others have said she knows what she's doing, according to a New York Times report. Alabama officials have found Lee wants to publish the book. Since Lee wrote "To Kill a Mockingbird" in 1960, she had steadfastly refused to publish another book. Lee now lives in an assisted living facility in Monroeville, Alabama, and some friends say her forgetfulness makes her unable to knowingly consent to publishing the book, "Go Set a Watchman." After receiving an anonymous complaint of elder abuse about Lee, the state of Alabama sent investigators from the Alabama Securities Commission to talk to her and others around her. "It was clear to our investigators that she fully understood the questions that were being asked, that she indicated she certainly wanted her book published, and she had her opinions that were voiced during the interview," Joseph Borg, the agency's director, told CNN. "And at that point we decided that she certainly knew what was going on." Lee wrote "Go Set a Watchman" before "To Kill a Mockingbird," and it features some of the same characters.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Kevin Pietersen has a vocal supporter in fellow former England captain Geoff Boycott as he clings to renewed hope that he might yet play international cricket again. New England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves has provided the first hint that Pietersen could resume a career which reached an apparently irrevocable full stop when he was sacked 13 months ago. Pietersen was in optimistic mood again on Monday that an unlikely reconciliation could be achieved, tweeting: 'Incredibly humbling how supportive you've all been since the news broke yesterday from Mr Colin Graves. Gonna try work this out for sure!' Kevin Pietersen has made no secret of his desire to return to the England setup but it seems unlikey . Indications in the 24 hours since Graves' BBC interview appear to have been less encouraging for the exiled 34-year-old batsman. The ECB issued a statement on Sunday, insisting 'nothing has changed' in his status and adding 'only players who are playing consistent high-quality county cricket and who are seen as a positive influence will be selected for England'. But BBC pundit Boycott has called for face-to-face discussions in which the governing body is 'fair' to Pietersen and does not 'lead him on' without a true intention to recall him as long as he plays well. He also suggested that, if key personalities such as ECB managing director Paul Downton and national selector James Whitaker disagree with Graves, they should leave their jobs. Graves stressed the pre-requisite of any conceivable progress must be a return to county cricket, something Pietersen's summer Twenty20 contracts in the Indian and Caribbean premier leagues will hardly help. New ECB chairman Colin Graves suggested over the weekend the door could still be open for Pietersen . His involvement in English domestic cricket for Surrey last summer was fleeting - exclusively in the NatWest t20 Blast - following his sacking by England. Downton has spoken on several occasions since then of the record-breaking batsman's apparent 'disengagement' with his team-mates while England were losing the final 2013/14 Ashes Test in Sydney by 281 runs. Surrey de-registered Pietersen at the end of last season, and are not publicly inclined to reopen negotiations. Boycott has identified clear communication between Pietersen and Graves as the starting point to ensure no new stumbling blocks are created. He told the BBC: 'It says to me that Kevin needs to get a meeting with Colin Graves as soon as he can - and, preferably, with Paul Downton and James Whitaker there after he has spoken to the chairman - because he wants to be clear. New England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves wants Pietersen (right) to play county cricket . 'It's all right the chairman saying he has to play county cricket. But if he does that and gives up a lucrative IPL contract and Downton and Whitaker are still not going to pick him, that's kind of like leading him on isn't it? And that's not fair. 'It needs to be put clear to him that if he plays well in county cricket then there's going to be a genuine - and I mean the word genuine - change of heart and change of opinion that he is going to be open for selection and that they are going to put bygones to one side. 'I don't think that it is fair to ask anybody to give up an IPL contract - because that's all he has. 'He only has Twenty20 around the world.' Boycott senses Downton and Whitaker could even be expendable, if there is a difference of opinion on Pietersen between them and former Yorkshire chairman Graves. He added: 'If Whitaker and Downton can't accept a change of plan or opinion from the chairman then they have to resign, don't they? Former England captain Geoff Boycott has warned the ECB to not 'lead on' Pietersen over a possible return . 'It's simple. They have to do what the chairman tells them, or go. 'We need to listen to our chairman from Yorkshire. He is no fool. He is very quiet and a nice man - but underneath he has got some steel about him.' There was, understandably, little engagement in the Pietersen topic from former team-mate Joe Root who has more pressing issues to confront in Australia and New Zealand as England try to stay in the World Cup after three defeats in four matches. Root is tipped by many as a future England captain, however, and opinions such as his could yet be pivotal to Pietersen's chances of a recall. He made it clear Pietersen is hardly uppermost in his mind at present, but also that he has a good working relationship with the South Africa-born batsman. Kevin Pietersen (left) has recently been playing for the Melbourne Stars in Australia's Big Bash competition . 'We're in the middle of the World Cup, and there's plenty of other stuff we need to be focusing on,' said Root. 'He doesn't really enter that. I've no problems with Kev. I've not spoken to him for a while, but he seems to be doing okay.' Pietersen, meanwhile, intends to seek an audience with Graves - well aware he and his advisers must somehow try to resurrect a county career before they can think about any more glory days with England. His world-class standing means he can command a budget-busting salary, but if he finds himself in a position where he needs a county contract at all costs, he could perhaps be re-entering a buyer's market. He closed his Monday tweet with a 'peace' motif - but it will surely be a vexed process if he is to get his wish. | Kevin Pietersen admits he'd love to play cricket for England again .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Pictures of Caitlin Kearney line the walls of her mother's Pitman, New Jersey, home, but Denise Urevick says she hasn't seen her daughter for years. The photographs are the only image of mom that Caitlin's own three-year-old daughter, Lily, who lives with Urevick, has since Kearney left her as a newborn in 2012. Kearney and Lily had been living with Kearney's grandmother until June of that year, when she walked into the home and heard her grandmother on the phone - upset - and speaking about her. Missing: Caitlin Kearney, recently would have turned 23, hasn't been seen by her family since she walked out of her grandmother's home where she was living in 2012 . 'Caitlin just turned around and walked out,' Urevick, 57, told the South Jersey Times. 'No one had heard from her that day.' Her disappearance, coming after what her mother characterized as a losing struggle with drugs, derailed both her family life and Kearney's plans to study nursing. 'When she first left, I had heard there were sightings of her,' Urevick said. 'I knew she was OK. I reported her missing when the information stopped coming in.' Urevick says she started searching for her daughter in Camden, where her daughter had gotten into trouble with the law and occasionally Urevick heard troubling rumors. 'What is really frightening, was at one point we were told that she could have been held against her will,' Urevick said. 'But we never were able to find out if that was true or not.' Both Pitman Police Department and the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office have investigated Kearney's case but all leads pointed to dead ends. Struggling: Urevick says she hears occasional rumors about her daughter, who has been spotted in Camden and occasionally gotten into trouble with the law . Unreachable: Urevick says Kearney recently had begun having issues with substance abuse that was souring their 'normal' relationship . Detective Bryn Wilden of the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office said his departmetn was 'unable to substantiate any claim that Caitlin had been held against her will.' Last week, Pitman police re-released the case, hoping to turn up new information that could lead to Kearney after two and a half years of fruitless searching. 'I'm still holding on to hope that we'll find Caitlin,' Urevick said. 'Of course I constantly think of her and worry about her. But I have to be OK for my granddaughter.' 'If Caitlin should read this, she should know her entire family wants her back home,' she added. | Caitlin Kearney, 23, walked out of her grandmother's home where she was staying 2-and-a-half years ago .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | A ski resort has issued the University of Michigan with a bill for half a million dollars after six fraternities and sororities staged a huge party that tore apart the hotel in an Animal House-style melee. Originally, it was estimated the college students caused around $75,000 damage at Treetops Resort during a ski trip in January. But a full assessment of the 45 rooms and connecting hallway - which was stripped of its ceiling - plus the loss of revenue, and damage to the brand's reputation has seen that figure multiply by six. And according to Barry Owens, general manager of Treetops in Gaylord, the fraternity that originally apologized for the damage - Sigma Alpha Mu - is refusing to pay up. Scroll down for video . Wrecked: The Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity and Sigma Delta Tau sorority are being accused of causing $50,000 in damage to the Treetops Resort in Gaylord, Michigan earlier this month . Destroyed: It has since been revealed that another disastrous party happened at another ski resort about an hour away, involving four other fraternities and sororities from the University of Michigan. However the Boyne Highlands resort is not revealing pictures of the damage. Above, a wrecked room at the Treetops Resort where members of Sigma Alpha Mu and Sigma Delta Tau stayed the weekend of January 17 . Legal action: It's estimated that both parties resulted in a combined $75,000 worth of damage. Both resorts are looking into pressing charges . Owens told MLive: 'The destruction done to Treetops Resort by University of Michigan fraternity and sorority students in mid-January is now near or beyond $430,000. 'While an investigation is ongoing, the university has stated that they expect the students who are responsible to make full restitution to Treetops for the damages. 'It also has become evident that the fraternity representatives have suggested that they are unwilling to pay for the damage that they caused the resort.' He also called on Sigma Delta Tau to contribute to the payment, which includes cleaning fees. Shocking pictures of a ski resort wrecked by members of a University of Michigan fraternity earlier this month are only half the story. It turns out, members of several other Greek life organizations from the Ann Arbor, Michigan school held a similarly debauched rager at a another hotel that same weekend. Combined, the damage done to Boyne Highlands resort from January 16 -18 is also estimated to be worth tens of thousands. Since then, the six fraternities and sororities implicated in the two parties have been suspended by their national organizations while the university and police investigate the incidents. Video from Local 4 Click on Detroit . Punishment: All of the fraternities and sororities implicated in the parties have been put on suspension by their national organizations which means they won't be allowed to host parties or represent their groups on campus . Historic: Barry Owens, the manager of the Treetops Resort, says the 45 rooms be rented to the groups were left in 'the worst condition' he's ever seen in his 30 years in hospitality . Scene: Above, the Sigma Alpha Mu (left) and Sigma Delta Tau (right) houses at the University of Michigan. The fraternity and sorority are accused of wrecking their rooms at the Treetops Resort in Gaylord . Sigma Alpha Mu chapter President Joshua Kaplan previously said his members 'are embarrassed and ashamed of the behavior' of some members. He said that his fraternity 'accepts full responsibility' and 'will be working with the management of the resort to pay for all damages and cleaning costs'. 'This behavior is inconsistent with the values, policies, and practices of this organization,' Kaplan said. 'We will work within our own organization and with university officials to hold those who are responsible accountable for their actions.' Similar charges may also be brought up by the Boyne Highlands Resort here members of Pi Kappa Alpha and Chi Psi fraternities held another party that same weekend in conjunction with the Delta Gamma and Alpha Phi sororities. Resorts spokesman Erin Ernst said that the group booked rooms in two blocks, and caused an estimated $25,000 in damage by breaking furniture and doors, soiling carpet and upholstery, punching holes in walls and smoking in non-smoking room. Ernst said they are not releasing images of the damage, since the management company does not own the building and publishing the pictures would be a violation of their landlord's privacy. Ruined: Above, the Boyne Highlands resort where members of the Chi Psi and Pi Kappa Alpha fraternities held a similarly destructive party with the Delta Gamma and Alpha Phi sororities . A spokesman for Boyne Highlands says one block of rooms was more destroyed than the other. Above, the Pi Kappa Alpha and Chi Psi fraternity houses at University of Michigan . Chi Psi and Pi Kappa Alpha allegedly rented out two blocks of rooms at Boyne Highlands with members of the Delta Gamma (left) and Alpha Phi (right) sororites . 'One of the group's units was far worse than the other,' Ernst told The Ann Arbor News. 'Obviously our owners are not pleased. Showing this level of extreme disregard to our properties is ridiculous. We will be looking at implementing new policies when it comes to young people booking at our properties.' In addition to possible criminal charges, Ernst says they will be looking into getting payment for the time they couldn't rent out the damaged condos. It's believed that members of even more University of Michigan fraternities and sororities may have been involved in both parties. Suspension by their national organization means the members of the six fraternities and sororities involved may continue to live in their campuses houses but can not participate in social activities, including holding parties or representing their organizations at university functions .They also won't be able to vote in Greek life councils. University spokesman Rick Fitzgerald says the suspension gives the university and authorities time to investigate the incident and determine appropriate action. 'It's more important to make sure we get the right information and move forward following our established processes than to do it by a specific deadline,' Mr Fitzgerald said. The university community has expressed scorn at the way the fraternity and sorority members represented their institution - ranked one of the top public colleges in the nation - during the out-of-control weekend ski trip. 'These incidents simply do not reflect the University of Michigan's values or its expectations,' said E. Royster Harper, vice president for student life. 'The behaviors are a contradiction of what it means to be in and of a community, and we do not believe that being away from campus is a license to act in destructive and irresponsible ways.' Three student body leaders also reacted to the incident this week. The joint letter from Student body president Bobby Dishell, Interfraternity Council president Alex Krupiak and Panhellenic Association president Maddy Walsh wrote that the parties were 'an act of shocking disrespect'. 'We, as leaders and Greeks at the University of Michigan, do not tolerate these kinds of acts, nor do we let such behavior fall under the radar. We intend to handle this situation with the utmost efficiency, and we will ensure that those responsible for the damage to the properties will be held accountable throughout this process,' the statement reads. | University of Michigan fraternity Sigma Alpha Mu was the first to be blamed for a destructive party at Treetops Resort earlier this month . It has since been revealed that the party was co-hosted by members of the Sigma Delta Tau sorority . Meanwhile, four other Michigan fraternities and sororities have been accused of exacting $25,000 in damage to another resort in Harbor Springs . The owner of Treetops Resort is looking into suing for damages . |

Using Max Weber's ideal bureaucracy as outlined in the provided text, generate 5 pro and 5 con bullet points on how bureaucracy is applied to an organization in practice. | The German sociologist Max Weber was the first to formally study bureaucracy and his works led to the popularization of this term. In his essay Bureaucracy, published in his magnum opus Economy and Society, Weber described many ideal-typical forms of public administration, government, and business. His ideal-typical bureaucracy, whether public or private, is characterized by:
- hierarchical organization
- formal lines of authority (chain of command)
- a fixed area of activity
- rigid division of labor
- regular and continuous execution of assigned tasks
- all decisions and powers specified and restricted by regulations
- officials with expert training in their fields
- career advancement dependent on technical qualifications
- qualifications evaluated by organizational rules, not individuals
Weber listed several preconditions for the emergence of bureaucracy, including an increase in the amount of space and population being administered, an increase in the complexity of the administrative tasks being carried out, and the existence of a monetary economy requiring a more efficient administrative system. The development of communication and transportation technologies makes more efficient administration possible, and democratization and rationalization of culture results in demands for equal treatment. Although he was not necessarily an admirer of bureaucracy, Weber saw bureaucratization as the most efficient and rational way of organizing human activity and therefore as the key to rational-legal authority, indispensable to the modern world. Furthermore, he saw it as the key process in the ongoing rationalization of Western society. Weber also saw bureaucracy, however, as a threat to individual freedoms, and the ongoing bureaucratization as leading to a "polar night of icy darkness", in which increasing rationalization of human life traps individuals in a soulless "iron cage" of bureaucratic, rule-based, rational control Weber's critical study of the bureaucratization of society became one of the most enduring parts of his work. Many aspects of modern public administration are based on his work, and a classic, hierarchically organized civil service of the Continental type is called "Weberian civil service" or "Weberian bureaucracy". It is debated among social scientists whether Weberian bureaucracy contributes to economic growth | Pro:
1. References are provided and checked to ensure candidates are qualified.
2. Management priorities are completed by employees as soon as possible.
3. "Industry experts" are welcome.
4. Learning is rewarded and encouraged. Free training is provided.
5. When warranted, a RACI (responsible, accountable, consulted, and informed) is shared across departments.
Con:
1. "Flat" organizations with a "startup" culture generate new ideas since all employees feel like contributors.
2. Dynamic and strategic roles are difficult to place into a fixed area of activity with a clear division of responsibilities.
3. Decisioning via regulations assumes it is possible and efficient to document specified and restricted regulations in all cases.
4. Bureaucracy is not "fun" and employee retention and well-being are critical aspects of any organization.
5. Employee "freedom" motivates and inspires people to do their best work. |

Given a reference text about the incudomalleolar joint, tell me its main function. | The incudomalleolar joint (more correctly called incudomallear joint) or articulatio incudomallearis is a small synovial joint between the malleus (hammer) and the incus (anvil). The joint's function is to transfer vibrations between the ossicles in the middle ear, which is perceived as sound. Contrary to other synovial joints the movement is very limited. All of the ossicles move more or less as a unit, at least at low frequencies.
When the eardrum is moved inward due to sound vibrations, transferred through the outer ear, it transmits to the handle or manubrium of the malleus which is connected to the ear drum. The head of the malleus (caput mallei) moves with it and transfers energy/movement to the corpus of the incus (corpus incudis), which is located directly behind. The sound vibrations are then transferred to the stapes (stirrup) through the incudostapedial joint. | The function of the incudomalleolar joint is to transfer vibrations between the ossicles in the middle ear. |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)One is a former high school cornerback who also loves baseball. The other is a football fan who also played competitive golf. The two University of Oklahoma students at the center of a racist fraternity video have more than sports in common. They're both under fire since the nine-second clip showed them making racial slurs against blacks. In it, students at the now-disbanded Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity clap, pump their fists and laugh as they hurl racial slurs and make a reference to lynching. School officials have expelled Parker Rice and Levi Pettit because of their alleged "leadership role" in the racist chant. Here's what we know about the two students: . Rice, 19, was raised in Dallas, where he recently graduated from Jesuit College Preparatory School. In high school, he was an avid sportsman, and he played cornerback on the football team, in addition to baseball, The Dallas Morning News reported. His father, Bob Rice, is a real estate agent in Dallas, where he volunteers for various organizations, including a baseball league and the local YMCA, according to the newspaper. Earlier this year, a sibling of the younger Rice described their close relationship in an interview with their high school newspaper. In the article, the brother says they enjoy playing video games and watching movies together. Rice has apologized for the video, calling his actions wrong and reckless. "I made a horrible mistake by joining into the singing and encouraging others to do the same," he said in a statement Tuesday. His family has fled their home, where protesters gathered Wednesday. They've also wiped out their social media accounts. As the university tries to heal after days of controversy, some are rallying to Rice's defense. Matthew Lopez, a friend and fellow student at the university, said the video is not a reflection of who he is. "That video does not represent his core personality," Lopez said. "Unfortunately though, as things are, that might define him for a while. But it does not define him personally, I feel." Lopez described him as a "charismatic, good person, with a good soul and a good spirit" who experienced a lapse in judgment. "His behavior is a result of his influence of the fraternity system and the traditions that have been embedded since pre-civil war times, when the fraternity was made, which obviously weren't the most tolerant times," Lopez said. The second student expelled, Pettit does not have much of a digital footprint. What appears to be his now deleted Twitter page mainly focuses on his musings about college football. Pettit played golf at his alma mater, Highland Park High School, The Dallas Morning News reported. In a statement, his parents said their son made a horrible mistake and apologized to African-Americans, students and university faculty. "He is a good boy, but what we saw in those videos is disgusting," Brody and Susan Pettit said. "While it may be difficult for those who only know Levi from the video to understand, we know his heart, and he is not a racist." CNN has reached out to both students but has not heard back from Rice. A spokesman for the Pettit family declined CNN's request for an interview. | "That video does not represent his core personality," a friend of Parker Rice says .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | As the clock ticked down on Celtic’s League Cup Final win, goalkeeper Craig Gordon looked in a world of his own as he glanced around Hampden, savouring every last moment. When the final whistle confirmed his first winners’ medal since the Scottish Cup victory over Gretna on penalties with Hearts in 2006, the goalkeeper immediately searched out the twin lights who had inspired his incredible comeback story. Over the course of his two long years out injured, four year old daughter Freya and then the arrival of little Emma, now 22-months old, provided both fortitude and hope in what was a seemingly endless dark tunnel for Gordon. Scott Brown lifts the Scottish League Cup alongside keeper Craig Gordon (right) on Sunday . Once Britain’s most expensive keeper, his girls now found their daddy a house-husband, unemployed after being released by Sunderland in the summer of 2012 due to knee tendon and anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Neither daughter knew him as Craig Gordon, Scotland hero and Cup-winning goalkeeper; the man who had once been voted as having made the best save in the 20-year history of the English Premier League. And the longer his spell out of the game continued, the more the 32-year-old’s retirement looked a weary inevitability. Keeper Craig Gordon gets the drinks flowing in the dressing room and sprays champagne as his team-mates . On Sunday, however, as Celtic looked to the future with the first trophy of the Ronny Deila era, Gordon celebrated with his family present at Hampden Park, including wife Jennifer. It was, he conceded, a day he feared may never happen. ‘I took a moment or two towards the end to think about things,’ admitted Gordon, his lips visibly quivering with emotion after the 2-0 win against Dundee United. ‘When the game was already won, and Dundee United weren’t going to get back into it, it was nice to stand up the other end of the pitch and just have a look around at the fans celebrating and singing all the songs. Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon poses with the Scottish League Cup trophy in the winning changing room . ‘To win it feels brilliant, absolutely fantastic. It’s the manager’s first competition and he’s won it — so it’s great for him but it’s also great for me personally. ‘I just wanted to take it all in, to realise that this was really happening for me. That I had won a cup again. It had been a long time coming since the last one at Hearts. It’s a dream come true. ‘I took my two little girls, Freya and Emma, out on to the pitch with me afterwards. It was so nice to be able to do that for them. They have stood by me and they have supported me for the two whole years when I wasn’t working, while I was concentrating fully on getting back into football. Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon maintains his clean sheet during the Scottish League Cup final . ‘It must have been a hard thing for them to have to deal with. They were so young that they never really knew what Daddy did for a living. They were a big part of my inspiration to get back to top level football. I wanted to show them what their Daddy used to do! ‘And I managed to do that. It means the world to me to share that moment with my girls out there on the pitch. And they absolutely loved it, dancing around and picking up all the confetti. It was such a special moment for me and for my family; a moment I will never forget.” As he danced across the park with his girls and his jubilant team-mates, gone were memories of surgery and the seemingly interminable healing process. ‘To come from where I was, all the hard work makes it special,’ he smiled. ‘At times it might have been easier to give up but the support I’ve had to keep going, to carry on and to get to here is just brilliant. It feels like I am back now. Gordon pumps his fists in celebration as Celtic defeated Dundee United in the Scottish League Cup final . ‘When I was injured, I just wanted to play a game of football again. But once I managed that I realised I was capable of getting back to a high level. And that’ s when I started to think about what is possible. ‘But to do this in my first season back is just amazing. When I first signed for Celtic last summer, Fraser Forster was still here as No 1 goalkeeper. ‘So to get in and have 40 games under my belt – plus a medal in the bank – is just so hard to contemplate. This is more than I could ever have hoped for when I was making the journey back from where I have been. ‘But I can’t afford to look too far back because we’ve got a busy run-in to come this season. ‘We’ve got a difficult game on Wednesday night against Dundee United in the Scottish Cup quarter-final replay and this result today might give United an added incentive to come out and have an even bigger go at us. ‘I thought United played pretty well today even with 10 men. They stuck to their tasks and they are a tough team to break down. So if we are not at our best, 100 per cent ready, they will have every chance to do well against us.’ | Celtic beat Dundee United 2-0 in the Scottish League Cup final .

This offering from Ryanair did not go down a treat. While we are a fan of cheese, Ryanair have created a swimming pool of cheesy sauce for the limp burger . When Delta Air Lines decided to serve this sun dried tomato sandwich, they were met with horror by the flying customer, who had to put it back in the bag . Unappetising: This China Eastern selection failed to impress the customer who received it, although at least there was a variety of choices . Unhappy with Utair. This disgruntled passenger rated gave this dry 'scanty sandwich' a 1/10 rating on the site. Not the most appetising sandwich we have seen . You would be forgiven from thinking this slimy peach dessert was a slug. It is fact the dish on offer onboard a Ukraine International flight . From 'toxic' salad to pasta that looks three days old and even 'untouchable' fish dishes, the hall of shame seems almost unending and will soon have you reaching for the sick bag. AirlineMeals was created over ten years ago, by Marco ‘t Hart and allows users to upload their food and rate it out of ten. There are now over 34,000 pictures on the site, covering 680 airlines from every corner of the globe. Some of the uploads are singing the praises of the dishes and others shouting their displeasure. 't Hart said he created the site after his mother asked what plane food he had when he travelled between Amsterdam and Istanbul to see his girlfriend. He started the website with his photographs, and added some from other fliers, with their permission. Soon he had millions of views and thousands of uploaded meals. 'We used the lowest ratings for a while... that used to be fun, but we now focus on the quality airlines offer. We need friends within the industry, not enemies,' he said. Despite this focus, AirlineMeals still shows the contributor's score out of ten and honest comments. North Korea's Air Koryo served this burger, with a few sad-looking leaves of lettuce, to an unhappy victim on a flight . This Vietnam Airlines meal, with the meat tossed on top of a watery sauce, looks less than appealing for the consumer . This Hawaiian Airlines dish served in December 2014 appears to be missing a few ingredients, although at least they have tried to garnish it with some decorative parsley . The mother of the boy who received this pancake onboard a KLM flight (Royal Dutch Airlines) said he called it 'gross' and refused to eat it - we aren't sure we would eat it either! This Cyprus Airways bland ham and cheese sandwich gained a 5/10 on the site and was described as 'nothing special' The AirlineMeals creator said that usually the bigger airlines from the Middle East, (Emirates, Qatar Airways, Gulf Air) and the Far East (All Nippon, JAL) get the best scores. In Europe, some of the smaller airlines, such as airBaltic, and larger European airlines including BA, Virgin, KLM, Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines, hold their own on the site too. In December, US-based DietDetective.com Charles Platkin revealed the results of a survey about airline food showing Virgin America was the best for nutrition, followed by Air Canada and Alaska Airlines. Ryanair served this disappointing meatball sub to a guest, who promptly uploaded to name and shame the airline . Thai Airways International: 'This was the most disgusting and bland meal I have ever tried to eat on an aircraft. The egg was gross, the beef was dry and flavourless and the salad smelled toxic. I only ate the cake which was decent' The user who tried this dish with Saudi Arabian Airlines described this green tinged mashed potato as 'ugly' Bangkok Airways served this 'cold and tasteless' dish of glass noodle salad with shrimp on its flight from Thailand to Cambodia to the dismay of a queasy guest . 'The appetiser is untouchable...smoked marlin with Belgian endives, baby green and capsicum,' said the uploader of this oily dish who flew with Cathay Pacific . A customer onboard a Thomson Airways flight was not happy with his frozen gouda sandwich, on his flight between Greece and United States . Elaborate dining with Utair: The recipient probably had other expectations in mind when they selected the cheese and biscuits spread, and gave the food 1/10 for taste and quality. 'The pasta was like three days old' according to one Aegean Airlines user who tried this dry, bland dish on their flight from Germany to Greece in 2015 . However, clearly airlines still have a long way to go to make their meals palatable. A user on board a Thai Airways International flight posted an image on Airlinemeals.net writing: 'This was the most disgusting and bland meal I have ever tried to eat on an aircraft. The egg was gross, the beef was dry and flavourless and the salad smelled toxic. I only ate the cake which was decent.' Another flier with Cathay Pacific described the appetiser as 'untouchable' and 'cheap.'

find the country that had wars with Egypt, and country that formed an ally to Egypt | Modern Egypt dates back to 1922, when it gained independence from the British Empire as a monarchy. Following the 1952 revolution, Egypt declared itself a republic, and in 1958 it merged with Syria to form the United Arab Republic, which dissolved in 1961. Throughout the second half of the 20th century, Egypt endured social and religious strife and political instability, fighting several armed conflicts with Israel in 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973, and occupying the Gaza Strip intermittently until 1967. In 1978, Egypt signed the Camp David Accords, officially withdrawing from the Gaza Strip and recognising Israel. After the Arab Spring, which led to the 2011 Egyptian revolution and overthrow of Hosni Mubarak, the country faced a protracted period of political unrest. Egypt's current government, a semi-presidential republic led by Abdel Fattah el-Sisi since 2014, has been described by a number of watchdogs as authoritarian and responsible for perpetuating the country's poor human rights record. | Throughout Egypt modern history, it had formed some allies as well as had fought wars with other countries, form the text provided:

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Life on a Civil War ship in the Deep South was no pleasure cruise. Heat, humidity, the rigors of military life and bouts of boredom could frustrate a fella. So it may be no surprise that among the first artifacts to be brought up from the wreck of the CSS Georgia in Savannah are two sets of leg irons. "We all know about discipline in the Navy," said Jim Jobling, a project manager with Texas A&M University's Conservation Research Laboratory. "It is for restricting the mobility of a prisoner who wanted to desert or had committed a crime." Of course, the leg irons could have been used on a Federal sailor or soldier taken captive. But that didn't occur with the Confederate ironclad. It was scuttled in December 1864, having never fired a shot in anger while it defended the city. About 400 artifacts have been brought up by divers in the initial stage of the recovery of the CSS Georgia, which must be moved for a deepening of the shipping channel. "We have scratched the surface as far as the artifacts are concerned. There are a lot more to come up," Jobling told CNN on Thursday. Texas A&M is working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Savannah to conserve many of the artifacts for eventual display. Archaeology isn't just about cool artifacts. It's about making a connection with the humans that used these items. And while experts haven't gleaned much about the daily life of the crew from the early dives, they have found some items that would have been used by an individual: An ironstone plate commonly used in the South, a musket trigger guard and the butt stock of a gun. Visibility at the site is practically nonexistent. Divers have to depend on feel to locate and remove smaller items. Much of it is is detritus of the wreck: small iron plates, nails and spikes. Among the items cataloged since the dives formally began at the end of January are two pieces that helped with the business end of the CSS Georgia: its cannons. Four of the artillery pieces are amid the wreckage about 40 feet down on the floor of the Savannah River. One iron piece had eyes, or holes, that connected a gun carriage to ropes that the ironclad's crew manipulated to move the gun forward and backward. Another piece, a trunnion cap, helped hold the cannon to the carriage. Divers and archaeologists are following a timetable and grid in the recovery, with smaller items being brought up by hand. A previous salvage effort and damage from dredging displaced some of the artifacts. Other items remain right where they fell. "Someone undid the engine, moved it and was dropped" into the depths, said Jobling. Contract divers are out on the site every day, weather permitting, not more than a couple miles east of the city's famous River Street and waterfront. The $15 million removal of the CSS Georgia is necessary for the state and federal harbor deepening project, which will see the channel go from 42 to a uniform 47 feet so massive cargo container ships can use the port without relying on the tide. In June or July, U.S. Navy divers are expected be on site, to bring up the larger pieces: two engines, the propeller, a steam condenser, the four guns and the casemates that housed them. One of the casemates is large: 68 feet by 24 feet. Four artillery shells will be recovered, with the U.S. Marine Corps to render them safe for museum display. The wooden lower hull no longer exists. The CSS Georgia didn't have enough power to maneuver and effectively trade artillery rounds with any enemy vessels that might approach from the Atlantic Ocean. Instead, the vessel became a stationary floating battery, bristling with artillery pieces. The Yankees refused to take on the CSS Georgia or other nearby defense obstructions. Archaeologists have the challenge of preserving portions of the CSS Georgia through chemical and other means, making her iron stable so the remains one day can be displayed. Conservation of selected artifacts and parts will be done at Texas A&M and will take about two years to complete. State and local officials hope conserved pieces will be exhibited somewhere in the city. Much of the CSS Georgia is corroded, and archaeologists are gauging the integrity of each piece for conservation. But many pieces remain in pretty good shape. An X-ray of one of the leg irons shows a fair bit of corrosion. Experts will inject epoxy to fill those gaps and remove any concretion on the iron, said Jobling. Officials need more artifacts and investigation to tell the story of the crew. "Hopefully, there is a section of the wreck that will tell the human side of the CSS Georgia," said Jobling. While salvage operations soon after the Civil War removed a lot of iron from the site, there's a chance personal items survive, especially if they are below the sediment line and protected from the ravages of oxygen. Interestingly, the vessel's crew had to run the main engine constantly, just to keep it afloat. Why? That's because the CSS Georgia's green wood made it susceptible to leaks. So on December 21, 1864, just as Union Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman's hordes of soldiers reached Savannah, the ironclad's crew likely opened its water valves. The CSS Georgia silently slipped below the surface. The sailors used small boats to get to shore and began a 20-mile walk from Savannah. "They took what they could carry with them," Jobling said. | A Civil War ironclad must be moved so the shipping channel can be deepened .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Formula One driver Giedo van der Garde's fight for a race seat for the 2015 season should move a step nearer to a conclusion on Wednesday. Van der Garde, who was axed as test driver by Sauber at the end of last season, claims he was promised a full-time race seat for the forthcoming campaign that begins in Australia this weekend. Sauber eventually hired Sweden's Marcus Ericsson and Brazilian Felipe Nasr, but Van der Garde has already seen an arbitration panel in Switzerland rule in his favour and is now looking for that decision to be enforced ahead of the season-opener. Giedo van Der Garde, pictured at testing in 2014 was the reserve driver for Sauber last season . Dutch driver claims he was offered a race seat for the 2015 campaign but Sauber reneged on deal . The Supreme Court in Victoria, Australia, announced on Monday via its official Twitter account that a judgement in Van der Garde's case would be reserved until 10am Wednesday local time (11pm Tuesday night UK time). The Swiss tribunal recently ordered Sauber 'to refrain from taking action' that would deny Van der Garde one of the two race seats, but Sauber are determined to fight their corner. Team principal Monisha Kaltenborn, a former lawyer, said on Friday: 'As this matter is currently before the courts it would be inappropriate for me to comment on specific details. 'However, we will take all necessary steps to protect our company, this team and its interests. 'Last year was a challenging time for us, but going into the 2015 season we have been focused on putting steps in place to ensure we are delivering the best outcomes for F1's fans.' | Giedo van der Garde was Sauber's test driver last season .

Why do sheep keepers paint their sheep? | Another trait unique to domestic sheep as compared to wild ovines is their wide variation in color. Wild sheep are largely variations of brown hues, and variation within species is extremely limited. Colors of domestic sheep range from pure white to dark chocolate brown, and even spotted or piebald. Sheep keepers also sometimes artificially paint "smit marks" onto their sheep in any pattern or color for identification. Selection for easily dyeable white fleeces began early in sheep domestication, and as white wool is a dominant trait it spread quickly. However, colored sheep do appear in many modern breeds, and may even appear as a recessive trait in white flocks. While white wool is desirable for large commercial markets, there is a niche market for colored fleeces, mostly for handspinning. The nature of the fleece varies widely among the breeds, from dense and highly crimped, to long and hairlike. There is variation of wool type and quality even among members of the same flock, so wool classing is a step in the commercial processing of the fibre. | Sheep keepers sometimes artificially paint "smit marks" onto their sheep in any pattern or color for identification. |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | The stampede by rugby’s dinosaurs to defend that monstrous Courtney Lawes tackle against France as perfectly legal has been as alarming as the potentially back-breaking hit itself. The stamp by Steven Gerrard against Manchester United was no more than a petulant irritant which threatened no real damage but he was rightly sent off and roundly castigated by football at large. The rugby snobs are fond of saying that that football is a game for gentlemen played by thugs. Not so when seen in the context of Mr Gerrard’s words of contrition for a rare blood-rush late in his honourable career. England lock Courtney Lawes made a bonecrunching hit on France fly-half Jules Plisson . Lawes crumples Plisson in the aftermath of his monstrous tackle on the French fly half . Steven Gerrard stamped on Ander Herrera's right leg shortly after coming on at the start of the second half . Gerrard walks off the Anfield pitch in what was his last appearance against Man United in a Liverpool shirt . Jeff Powell’s piece has provoked much debate, including the above tweet from Lawes himself... They also like to say that rugby is a game for thugs played by gentlemen. Not with the malevolent Mr Lawes around. Gerrard sought forgiveness from his team-mates and fans for how his stupidity left it impossible for Liverpool to avoid Sunday’s critical Premier League defeat. There has been no apology from Lawes for a violent act 24 hours earlier which cast a pall over an otherwise heroic England victory, which came close to snatching an improbable Six Nations Championship. The general reaction at Anfield was concern that an idol may have dented his legacy a little in one of his last big matches in this country. At Twickenham even the low-swinging charioteers gasped in horror as Lawes came close to cutting in two French fly half Jules Plisson. Lawes has talked in the past about the beneficial impact for his teams of ‘the big hit.’ That offers a disturbing insight into his view of sport and the spirit in which it should be played. Perhaps he feels no need to explain himself this week because so many others were only too eager to do it for him. Referee Nigel Owens and his video-reviewing assistant agreed that the Lawes’ tackle was within the regulations. A livid Yoann Maestri pushed Lawes in the face and grapples with the England man following his challenge . Lawes and Maestri continue their disagreement on their feet as matters threaten to boil over . The majority of the rugby fraternity gave vent to their customary splutterings about this being ‘a man’s game.’ Not when you blind-side an opponent after he has passed the ball. The officials and the executives who are responsible for rugby were of a consensus that Lawes was already committed to the tackle so therefore he was not late enough to justify a red card. But did he really have to go through with it at such ferocious velocity? Was it vindictive or mere happenstance? Lawes is not telling us but if it had happened in a street outside the stadium police may well have been called to investigate if there were grounds for an assault charge. The rugby authorities – with the exception of the French who are asking for the on-the-spot not guilty verdict to be reviewed – are saying he did nothing wrong. Well, if that tackle was lawful then it explains why so many parents are discouraging their kids from playing this game. Herrera gestures and points at Gerrard as the Liverpool midfielder reacts following the challenge . Gerrard looks dejected after seeing red just 38 seconds after coming on for Liverpool at Anfield . If it is OK for a young man of average build like Plisson to be hit so hard by a giant that his head is shaken around like that of a rag doll before slamming against the ground, then what chance the campaign we at Sportsmail are leading for the reforms needed to prevent concussive head injuries? If the supply of youngsters dries up, rugby’s future will be bleak indeed. As for Lawes, he has past form. England internationals Charlie Hodgson and Owen Farrell and another French cap, Morgan Parra, are among a lengthening list of creative fly-halves who have been hammered – and in some cases injured – by trade-mark batterings from Lawes. The video of his brain-rattling of Plisson has gone viral and there is a danger of his hits becoming cult viewing. Now this is a contact game. The physical element is fundamental, while the strength and courage of the combatants are very much part of its appeal. But there has to be a limit. This is sport, not war. Football has a lot to learn from rugby about acceptance of decisions and respect for referees. But education is a two-way street. Come the crunches, football officials can take into account not only the force of the impact but the intent. Plisson continued to play after his mauling by Lawes and comes up against Luther Burrell here . England and France captains Chris Robshaw and Thierry Dusautoir listen to referee Nigel Owens . Was Lawes well-intentioned towards Plisson, who played even more poorly thereafter although going beyond the call of duty in carrying on? As the decision to let Lawes remain on the pitch came down he gave me the smug impression of someone who had got away with another one. No doubt it is asking too much for England to leave out the man they call their Enforcer. But they could come to regret not taking that decision if he does something similar in the World Cup later this year, the officials are less forgiving and they find themselves down to 14 men against the All Blacks. As power becomes ever more important than flair in rugby, so big men like Lawes bulk up even more muscle. And his own team-mates talk with increasing awe of how he targets the fly-halves he dwarfs. Legal or not Mr Lawes, try picking on someone your own size. Gareth Bale is reportedly determined to confound his enemies in Spain, win over his critics at Madrid and go on to prove himself a Real Galactico. All in preference to a £75 million transfer to Manchester United, Chelsea or Manchester City . Good for him. If he were to take even more money and run for home, it is unlikely greatness would ever become him.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Choosing the perfect ski destination can be a tricky prospect. Especially if you want to take your family. The first instinct is to think about the Alps. But if you want to go away in February half-term - which we did - then the snowiest parts of France, Italy and Austria can be busy. And a little expensive. We happened upon an alternative. Norway. Fill your snow boots: Norway can be an inexpensive alternative to the Alps . The slopes are snow-sure well into April, prices are reasonable and families are exceptionally well catered for. My wife and I have two children, Maisie, five and Imogen, three. That's young to start skiing, but I was told that Trysil would do the trick. After an easy transfer from Oslo airport, we arrived at the Radisson Blu, one of two ski-in ski-out hotels. There is ten-pin bowling, an American-style diner, a soft play area and a vast multi-pool swimming area that would prove to be a huge hit with my lot. It is also right by the nursery slopes - our first morning found us riding the magic carpet to ski school. Maisie was in a class of five, Imogen was with three others. And by a happy quirk, they were being taught by two sisters, both delightful. By the second day, she was riding the mini drag lift and Imogen was padding around on her skis, searching for stuffed toy lions and monkeys around the kids area. Easy does it: Trysil can be a perfect ski destination for families with young children . By the end of the week, both were skiing better than I could have hoped. Trysil has four main ski areas, all with excellent nursery slopes - with easy routes down from all points. The ski school also runs a drop-in creche from 10.45am to 3pm for £8 an hour per child, with a 30 per cent discount for siblings. We used this for our own ski time. The slopes are surprisingly extensive. Hogegga is an area with mostly black runs - and new for this season is the first of a series of new gladed trails through woods. Skihytta is a charming mountain hut serving its own beers, and moose shot by the owner. Knettsettra is another must-visit mid-mountain restaurant and bar. It hosts free concerts for up to 5,000 people in March and April. The one sting in the tail is the cost of alcohol. A draft half-litre of beer cost me £6.50 and a bottle of wine £35. But the well-priced food balanced this out over the week. And it was not just about the skiing. Downhill all the way: Trysil has slopes for skiers all abilities, within quick reach of Oslo . We also took the girls dog-sledding across a beautifully scenic plateau, and our highlight of the week was a horse sleigh ride with a stop-off in a Nordic yurt to cook hot dogs over an open fire. The girls definitely developed a taste for skiing, and we have a new love affair with Trysil. We are already thinking about going back for half-term next year. Roll on February 2016. Ski Safari (01273 224 068, www.skisafari.com) offers holidays for a family of four (two adults, two children) from £3,100, based on a seven-night stay at the 4*+ Radisson Blu Resort on a half-board basis - including flights and transfers. Packages are now on sale for February 2016 half-term. Children's ski hire costs £30 for a week; a five-day package of 90-minute group lessons costs £100. Children under six ski free. A one-week adult ski pass costs £160. | Norway can be an alternative to the Alps for a half-term skiing break . Slopes tend to be less crowded than in France, and are snow-sure to April .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | A poltergeist that maliciously terrorised a home for four months by hurling stones and knives at the people who lived there has been described as one of the most spookiest supernatural occupations in Australia. Tony Healy and Paul Cropper spent several days at the Humpty Doo home in the Northern Territory when the poltergeist was in full swing back in 1998. The pair have published details of the encounter in their new book Australian Poltergeist: The Stone-throwing Spook of Humpty Doo and Many Other Cases. Scroll down for video . Andrew Agius found the word CAR made from small pebbles in the bathroom of the Humpty Doo home in the Northern Territory back in 1998. Words referred to their friend Troy Raddatz who was incinerated in a car accident just a few kilometres from their house . The book details 50 of Australia's poltergeist occupations dating back to 1845 - with Humpty Doo coming in at number two. The ghostly encounters at the McMinns Drive property started in January 1998 when the poltergeist started dropping pebbles from the ceiling onto the floor, tables, beds and heads. On the same night, residents Andrew and Kirsty Agius, Dave Clark, his partner Jill Summerville and their mate Doug Murphy noticed knives, small batteries, spanners, shards of broken glass and other objects being dropped or hurled across rooms. They called in two Catholic priests and one Greek Orthodox priest to try and exorcise it. But all attempts failed and one priest even reported seeing a crucifix being hurled across the room. 'Whatever these things are they can run rings around us. My guess is some of the cases involve spirits of recently deceased people,' Mr Healy told Daily Mail Australia. Jill Summerville was photographed beside some of the graffiti left by the poltergeist on the walls of the house during its four month stint at the home . The ghostly encounters at the McMinns Drive property started in January 1998 when the poltergeist started dropping pebbles from the ceiling onto the floor, tables, beds and heads . The residents were soon subjected to sinister words and symbols being drawn on the walls and floor in marker pens, scrabble tiles and pebbles. The first series of words that appeared in the house - 'FIRE', 'SKIN', 'CAR', 'HELP' and 'TROY' - referred to their friend Troy Raddatz who was incinerated in a car accident just a few kilometres from their house before the first sign of the poltergeist appeared. Over the next couple of days the poltergeist cranked up the level of vandalism, causing serious damage - a CD player was thrown to the floor and destroyed, windows and glass cabinet doors were smashed by ashtrays and other flying objects. Healy and Cropper spent five days and nights at the property in April 1998. 'We don’t know of anyone who visited the house and left sceptical. The poltergeist was pretty obliging by turning it on,' Mr Healy said. Pebbles from the driveway would regularly shower from the ceiling without warning, while knives, small batteries, spanners, shards of broken glass and other objects would be hurled across rooms . This is a collection of the items the poltergeist regularly hurled across rooms, according to residents . 'I saw an object materialise in mid-air. I was chatting to a lady and she was sitting across a wooden table across from me. She was reading a newspaper article with both her hands in plain sight. 'There were other instances where knives, bullets… whizzed past our heads. Showering of stones also happened three times while we were there. 'The messages on the floor and walls had a malicious flavour to them, but the thing is if it really wanted to hurt me… it could have embedded the knife in my back rather than hurl it past.' After four months, the poltergeist left as suddenly as it arrived and its departure is still unexplained. This corkscrew held by Andrew was also a regular favourite of the poltergeist . Tony Healy and Paul Cropper spent several days at the Humpty Doo home in the Northern Territory when the poltergeist was in full swing back in 1998 and have published their encounter in a new book . Since witnessing the events at Humpty Doo 17 years ago, the pair visited various other sites to interview people who have lived through similar experiences.

Controversial Italian Paolo di Canio quite literally made his mark — ruining his suit with a knee-slide to celebrate 3-0 victory over rivals Newcastle — and secured a comfortable 14th place. But that was about as good as it got for Di Canio at the Stadium of Light as he was sacked just five games into the following campaign with his side rock bottom on one point.

'It says $50,000 across the middle, then after it appears, I don't know, it appears somebody may have tried to squeeze in "three hundred thousand" in hindsight,' Reyes' attorney Nelson McElmurry told NBC. 'He's trying to shatter her little piece of the American dream,' McElmurry said. Reyes, of San Jose, won $1,000 from a similar scratch card in December, and claims she gave the store $100 as a gesture of good will. Claims: In court documents, Laxmi Bharwaj, owner of USA Liquors, says Reyes made the deal in the store . This is the moment Reyes received the $1 million winnings - her second scratch card success in two months . Bhardwaj claims she gave them $500. Now Reyes says she wants all the money to herself to take her family on holiday to Hawaii. She told NBC: 'Before I wanted to give the $50,000, but later I say forget it. Why do I have to give it? I won the money.' The pair will meet in court on March 13. | Laxmi Bhardwaj, owner of USA Liquors, claims Eva Reyes promised half . He says he paid for her Emerald 10 scratch card, she won $1m .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Sam Warburton is set to captain Wales for a record 34th time in the RBS 6 Nations showdown against Ireland in Cardiff on Saturday. Nik Simon talks to Warburton and Wales wing legend Shane Williams about the game which could decide the Six Nations Championship. Nik Simon: You'll become Wales's most-capped captain on Saturday. What's the secret? Sam Warburton: I take it with a pinch of salt because there are more games now than 30 years ago. Warren Gatland put his faith in me when I was quite young and he's stuck with me. Before I took up the role, some people said 'If someone's out of line, then you have to give it to them'. Rather than the Roy Keane approach, and as a Spurs fan, I like to compare myself to Ledley King. Sportsmail's Nik Simon speaks to Wales captain Sam Warburton and former Test winger Shane Williams . Warburton (left) is set to captain Wales for a record 34th time against Ireland in Cardiff on Saturday . Former Wales and Lions winger Williams believes his Warburton's side are still in the running for the title . Simon: Ryan Jones previously held the record, how do the two compare? Shane Williams: To be captain, you have to be well liked by the players. Warburton came in at the latter stage of my career and was much younger than me, so it was a little strange to have him as captain. But he impressed me straight away and, like Ryan, he trained hard and played hard. Simon: Wales are still in the running for the championship despite losing to England in round one. Are there shades of 2013? Warburton: It's going that way. Our experience in 2013 has given us the belief that we can do it. It was tough then because all the Wales teams previously had won a Grand Slam. Ryan sat us down and gave us the belief that we needed. We've had our one lifeline but we've got the motivation that it's still possible. Williams: Fate is always in your hands with the Six Nations, that's what makes it special. It's an open championship. Ireland are favourites to win in Cardiff but you can't write anyone off — one result can change everything. Simon: Jonathan Sexton ran the show against England. How much of a threat is he? Warburton: If I'm being honest, I didn't see the game live because I was watching Tottenham v Chelsea in the Capital One Cup final. I flicked back and forth to see the rugby score. But Johnny is a massive part of the Irish team. His attention to detail impressed me on the Lions tour and he knew every move so intricately. He deserves to be known as one of the best players in the world. Ryan Jones (centre) previously held the record for Wales's most-capped captain . Simon: How do you defend against Sexton and Conor Murray's kicking game? Williams: The game is changing and there's a massive focus on rugby league style kicks. When I saw the state of Tommy Bowe at the end last week, he had chased a lot of kicks and was very tired. It helps being six-foot plus when you're taking high balls. Dan Biggar is one of the best in the world at kicking the ball in the air, running 40 yards, and catching it. It sounds easy but it's such a big part of the game now. Simon: Who would you select in the Welsh back-three? Williams: Defensively, Leigh Halfpenny is the best full back in the world. George North is my first-choice winger because he's such a talented footballer. On the other wing I would keep Liam Williams, who's the form player in Wales. Scott Baldwin and Luke Charteris were both very good in the pack against France — especially with the 100 per cent lineout — and I wouldn't make any changes for the weekend… if it isn't broken don't fix it! Fly half Jonathan Sexton (right) has been superb for Ireland during this years's tournament . Simon: Can the Welsh half-backs match the Irish? Williams: I've been very impressed with Biggar and Rhys Webb. They've made those positions theirs at the moment and they are able to take pressure off each other through their time management and kicking games. It helps that they've been together at Ospreys and they will have to be on top of their game against Murray and Sexton, because they're the world's in-form combination. Simon: England were blitzed at the breakdown in Dublin, are you putting extra focus on that area? Warburton: Out of all the Six Nations teams I've played against, Ireland have been the most effective at the breakdown. I've not been rewarded as much at the breakdown as I was last year. I haven't made as many turnovers as I would have liked. The post-tackle stuff is always an add-on after training and Shaun Edwards always barks at us when we're doing it. It's key to our game plan. Simon: Ireland have lost just twice in Cardiff in 32 years, why are they so successful? Williams: In the nicest possible way, they take an arrogant approach and expect to win every game. They've had players like Paul O'Connell, Brian O'Driscoll and Ronan O'Gara, who have been able to win these kind of games. They have belief and mental toughness. When they're playing well, they build up confidence and are a very tough team to stop. Wales head coach Warren Gatland (centre) will be pitting his wits against fellow Kiwi Joe Schmidt this week . Simon: What's the key to countering that record? Warburton: Like every international match, there are three areas: set piece, breakdown, kicking game. If you can come out on top in two of those three then that's probably going to be the key. I think the breakdown and the kicking game will be the two key areas against Ireland. We're back at our own little nest in the Vale and we're back at home. After two wins, confidence is high. Simon: Warren Gatland vs Joe Schmidt will be an interesting coaching battle — how do the two Kiwis compare? Williams: They both stick to the game plan they want to play. Schmidt uses the players as a tool to work out how Ireland are going to play, rather than trying to fit them into a certain game-plan. Warren Gatland is very similar. Warren's got a great way with people. He gets the best out of his players by taking the mick out of them. I used to come off the field and, with a glint in his eye, he would say 'oh you were rubbish today!'. He loves the wind-up and he loves getting his players going. Schmidt is very straight down the line. He says it as it is and gets the best out of his players by being honest. They're different personalities but they're both hugely successful. Wales winger George North makes a strong carry during his side's victory against France in Paris . Simon: Wales are still in the running… How much of a World Cup confidence boost would it be to win the Six Nations? Warburton: I don't think the Six Nations will have much bearing on the World Cup. In 2011 that wasn't the case. The Six Nations didn't reflect our World Cup campaign. Last year's autumn campaign finished well for us but that didn't transfer into the first game against England. I don't think there's much of a trend with Wales. The most important period will be the three months we're together in the summer. We'll treat that like a pre-season.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Us Weekly magazine has retracted a story about model and reality star Kendall Jenner and her father, former Olympian Bruce Jenner. "We would like to retract the story entirely and have removed it from our website. We sincerely apologize to Ms. Jenner and her family," the magazine said Thursday on its website. Us Weekly had quoted the sister, a member of the Kardashian family, as saying she supported her father, who has made entertainment headlines over rumors that he is becoming a woman. "He's a wonderful man. And just because he's changing shoes now, so to speak, doesn't make him less wonderful. I will always love my dad, whether he's a man or a woman," the magazine quoted her as saying. But Kendall Jenner said she never said that. "How is it legal for someone to 'quote' someone and publish it if in fact you never said what was quoted?" she tweeted. Us Weekly said on its website: "The interview was allegedly conducted by an independent freelance journalist at the Saturday, March 14, taping of Comedy Central's roast of Justin Bieber in Los Angeles. When Ms. Jenner denied, via Twitter, that the interview took place, Us Weekly immediately reached out to the freelance reporter. "He stood by the interview, and continues to maintain that the quotes are accurate. However, after attempting to reconfirm his account, editors of Us have concerns about the veracity of this interview and the circumstances under which it was obtained." Bruce Jenner has not commented publicly on speculation that he's transitioning to a woman, so any comments from his relatives would essentially be confirming the rumors.

Generate a summary of the text | Assuming Northern Ireland don’t now stumble on the road to France, they will owe a big debt of thanks to their big No 10 for firing his country to a major championships for the first time in 30 years. Not since the 1986 World Cup have the Northern Irish graced a big stage. Indeed, they have never qualified for the finals of the European Championships. But after Kyle Lafferty scored twice against Finland at Windsor Park to take his total in qualifying to five goals in five games, Michael O’Neill’s side will never have a better chance as they remain one point behind leaders Romania following their fourth win of the campaign. Northern Ireland striker Kyle Lafferty celebrates after scoring against Group F rivals Finland at Windsor Park . Lafferty scores past Finland goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky to open the scoring at Windsor Park in Belfast . The Northern Ireland striker leaped above Finland's defence to double the scoreline just five minutes after his opener . NORTHERN IRELAND (4-1-4-1): Carroll 6; McLaughlin 7, McAuley 6.5, J Evans 6.5, Brunt 6; Baird 6; Ward 7, Davis 6.5 (C Evans 46, 6), Norwood 6, McGinn 6.5 (Dallas 64, 6); K Lafferty 8 (Magennis 79).

Star man: Kyle Lafferty . Northern Ireland remain just one point behind Group F leaders Romania . The two countries meet here in June when Northern Ireland will have a great opportunity to go top. Even if it all goes wrong, this result puts them eight points clear of fourth-placed Finland and almost guaranteed of at least a playoff place. ‘We’re in a really strong position, there’s no doubt about that,’ said O’Neill. ‘Will 18 points be enough? Possibly. But Belfast in June is as far as we’re looking ahead.’ Finland simply couldn’t handle Lafferty, the 6ft 4in striker on loan to Turkish club Caykur Rizespor from Norwich after a frustrating spell at Carrow Road, who made life as difficult for them as possible in the blustery conditions. He had already caused central defenders Joona Toivio and Niklas Moisander plenty of problems before putting Northern Ireland in command with two classy finishes in the space of six minutes. The first goal came from a freekick after Lafferty was fouled by an exasperated Moisander in the 33rd minute. Finland cleared Oliver Norwood’s inswinging free-kick but Niall McGinn nodded the ball back to Lafferty 15 yards from goal and he showed fantastic technique to turn and volley it beyond goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky and into the far corner. Ireland looked most dangerous down their right-hand side and when Jamie Ward and Conor McLaughlin combined once again in the 38th minute, Lafferty met Conor McLaughlin’s pin-point cross with a glancing header into the bottom corner. Lafferty celebrates with his Northern Ireland team-mates during his side's 2-1 Euro 2016 qualifier against Finland . Premier League stars such as Jonny Evans (centre left on back row) and Chris Brunt (centre right on back row) started for Northern Ireland . It was no surprise to see Toivio hooked at half-time in favour of the more muscular Paulus Arajuuri – ‘a tactical substitution,’ was the curt response from Finland boss Mixu Paatelainen afterwards – or Lafferty receive a standing ovation when he was replaced by Josh Magennis 11 minutes from time. He is now second only to David Healy in the list of Ireland’s all-time leading goalscorers. ‘Kyle was outstanding again and he scored two fantastic goals,’ added O’Neill. ‘He’s going on the pitch believing he’s capable of scoring every time he plays. ‘It’s a little bit like the David Healy situation where things at club level aren’t going as well as he would like. But he’s showing what he’s capable of against top-class European defenders.’ Finland substitute Berat Sadik pulled a goal back in the first of three minutes of added time to set up an unnecessarily nervy finish, but Ireland held on and the celebrations told their own story.

Generate a summary of the text | Newly released The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is every bit as starry as the first film, with Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith and Richard Gere centre stage. But India plays its supporting role with equal charm and grace. Painted elephants, marble palaces, magnificent forts, wandering cows, pale pink turbans and flickering candles tell of the noise, smells and rich colours of this flamboyant country. The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel was filmed in amid the beautiful backdrop of Jaipur in Rajasthan . Filmed in Rajasthan, the film is based in its capital, Jaipur. But ask any resident of the city about the film and you'll be met with a blank stare. Our wonderful guide, Rajendra, was aware of it only because a client had pointed out 'the apparently very famous Judi Dench' in the Rambagh Palace Hotel. Bollywood not Hollywood still rules the screens here. While it might be too late to see Richard Gere in the crowded alleyways of the bazaars, you will spot plenty of other desirable items. Jaipur is a shopper's paradise and Indians flock here for silks and the region's hand-made, block-printed cottons. The magnificent Amber Fort, to which you can ride on an elephant, offers panoramic views over Maota Lake and the ornamental gardens that seem to float within . This is also considered the place to come for jewels. The stones are not mined here, but cut, polished and set better than anywhere else.

The best block-printed fabrics, a craft that dates back to the 1700s, are at Riddhi Siddhi, where cloth is piled from floor to ceiling. Wander, too, through the spice market, past paan wallahs filling betel leaves and the flower market, where scented roses, fragrant jasmine and marigolds are made into garlands to offer to your favourite deities. The Pink City is so-called for its coloured wash, intended to replicate Indian sandstone, a more noble material than the lime and mortar of which the buildings are actually made. With its city gates and crenellated walls, it makes for a striking sight. There are iconic landmarks, such as the five-storey, 18th-century Palace of the Winds, with its latticed screen facade allowing street life to be viewed by the veiled ladies within.

The first first film follows a group of elderly character as they explore their respective retirement plans in India and fall in love with the beautiful landscape in the process .
